Jalapeno variation |
Mr. Big Food:
When I’m in a pinch, I’m a Jiffy corn bread and muffin guy. It’s the closest I’ve found to scratch corn breads I like. Plus, you can doctor up your Jiffy corn bread and muffins with some interesting add-ins, as shown below.
CORN BREAD VARIATIONS
MEXICAN CORN BREAD
Stir in 2 ½ C whole kernel corn (canned or frozen) or cream
style corn, and 1 small can chopped green chilies, to 2 boxes of Jiffy corn
bread or muffins. Prepare as package directs (although cooking time may need to
be extended a bit). Alternatively, mix up one package corn muffin mix according
to package directions, stir in 1 8 oz can sweet corn (drained) and 1C bell
pepper, chopped fine, pour half the mixture into a greased baking pan, top with
half of an 8 oz package shredded cheese, repeat layering with remaining batter
and cheese,, and bake at 350o for about 45 minutes or until
completely done.
GREEN ONION CORN BREAD
Stir in 1 bunch of green onions, sliced (both white and
green parts) per box of Jiffy corn bread or muffin mix. Prepare as package
directs.
BUTTERMILK CORN BREAD
Use buttermilk instead of sweet milk and prepare as package
directs. Add ¼ tsp baking soda per box of Jiffy mix prepared.
JALAPENO CHEESE CORN BREAD
For 2 boxes Jiffy corn mix, prepare as package directs and
add 1 C cream style corn, 3-4 pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped very fine, and
1 C shredded cheese. Add ½ tsp baking soda if replacing sweet milk with
buttermilk.
BROCCOLI CORN BREAD
5 eggs, beaten well
1 medium onion, chopped fine
10 oz package frozen broccoli, thawed
2 C cottage cheese
1 ½ sticks butter, melted
2 packages Jiffy corn muffin mix
Preheat oven to 400o. Mix together eggs, onion,
broccoli, and cottage cheese. Add melted butter and 1 package Jiffy mix at a
time, beating well. (Mixture will be lumpy and stiff.) Pour into greased 9x13
inch pan and bake 40-45 minutes or until completely done in center.
Have you tried freezing the corn muffins after they're made? We'd never eat a whole batch at one time...
ReplyDeleteWe do freeze them sometimes. But we often only make 1/2 the recipe. The broccoli one above is easy to halve since it calls for 2 boxes of Jiffy, though we still use a whole box of broccoli.
