🤔 FAQs
These are questions frequently asked about making the Cheesy Jiffy muffins.
Cornbread is a quick bread that’s typically cooked in a skillet and is made with cornmeal and sometimes with the addition of sugar. Corn muffins are made with cornmeal and usually a generous amount of sugar, baked in muffin pans, and they take on a cake-like texture.
Moisture in the muffin batter will prevent the muffins from falling apart. I’ve added vegetable oil, milk, and sour cream to these cornbread muffins to keep them moist and intact.
Corn muffins typically contain healthier ingredients and reduced sugar, making them the preferred option over other baked goods.
Commercial mixes used to make cornbread often contain refined flour and, therefore, more carbs than fiber. Eat everything in moderation.
👩🏻🍳 Tips
- Silicon pans aren’t the easiest to carry when filled with muffin batter, so I placed them on a rimmed baking tray for more stability when transporting them to and from the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop to pour equal amounts of muffin batter into each cup.
- If you aren’t sure whether the muffins have baked sufficiently, insert a toothpick or a cake tester into the center of the muffin, which should come out clean.
- I allow the muffins to cool while still in the muffin pans and then remove them to allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. This helps prevent them from crumbling.
- If you don’t have silicone pans, spray metal muffin cups lightly with a non-stick cooking spray. The muffins will easily pop out of the pan.
📚 Variations
- If you don't like spicy, omit the jalapenos.
- Use mini muffin pans to make mini jalapeno Jiffy cornbread muffins but then reduce the baking time so that the muffins don’t over bake and dry out.
- I’ve used the Jiffy cornbread mix brand, but you could use a different cornbread mix too. Always check for added ingredients that the brand of mix used calls for and adjust this recipe as required.
🥫 Storage
Store these jalapeno Jiffy cornbread muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat leftover cornbread muffins in the microwave for 20 seconds from chilled or 60-90 seconds from frozen. Otherwise, reheat in the oven for 10 minutes at 350F.
