This easy Jiffy Corn Bread with creamed corn begins with a Jiffy box mix and is moist and delicious! It’s the PERFECT bread everyone will rave about!
When I was growing up my mom’s mother (MawMaw to me) lived with us until she passed away when I was 15. She was almost like a mom to me during my preschool and school years when my own mom went back to work to help provide for us.
MawMaw was the one who made sure I had a snack in the afternoons and got my energy out before dinner! She saw to it that I studied and also made me practice the piano.
I’m sorry, MawMaw, for all that talking back and complaining. I have five kids now. You can stop talking to God about paybacks now.
Anybody feel me on that one?
But the one thing she didn’t do was teach me how to cook!
I left home for college knowing how to brown a hamburger patty and make a grilled cheese sandwich.
That was it.
Real food for real life.
~eye roll~
Even all those many, MANY, years ago I knew that once I had kids of my own I was gonna make sure they knew more than I did.
Whether they liked it or not ~grin~
Enter my favorite Jiffy Corn Bread with Creamed Corn recipe.
Jiffy Corn Bread with Creamed Corn Recipe
Easy. Delicious. Perfect to teach the kids.
Even though I’m a southern gal I’ve never been much of a corn bread gal. I find that it’s usually too dry for me.
But since I AM Southern and us Southerners love our corn bread I hunted to find the truly “best” and most moist recipe!
Everybody I know has their “best and easiest” cornbread recipe. Just go to any church potluck to see what I mean!
But they’re wrong.
Mine is the best. The end. (Don’t believe me? Just take a look at all the comments raving about this recipe!)
I wish I could take credit for this Jiffy Corn Bread being an original recipe but I’m sure I got it out of an old cookbook somewhere.
The selling point for this recipe? There are only six ingredients and one bowl needed (plus one to beat the eggs).
I loved teaching my kids how to bake this recipe at an early age so they can be helpful in the kitchen and aren’t afraid to cook when they’re on their own like I was.
This recipe is perfection. A win for all of us!

I love that the corn bread is moist instead of dry and crumbly. And if you bake it in a cast iron skillet or cornstick pan (or even make some yummy muffins)?
Oh.my.goodness. It is divine!
(Don’t know what a cornstick pan is? I didn’t either!)
Sometimes I’ll serve it with my Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Soup, my slow cooker favorite Taco Soup or even my White Chicken Chili.
This Jiffy Corn Bread also makes a terrific side dish to take to a potluck or picnic. Perfect match for any season of the year!
Your family will thank you ~smile~
Notes about this recipe:
- This corn bread recipe is a bit sweeter than most but the sour cream helps tone down the sweetness.
- There are many substitutions listed in the comments below but one of my favorites is plain nonfat Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
- If you want to bake this in a cast iron pan, grease the skillet and cook in preheated oven at 400 degrees for 18-23 minutes.
- Also perfect for muffins! Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Oh Marty! After all this time I’ve been following you I’m just now trying this amazing cornbread recipe. IT IS DELICIOUS! Although I got a little sidetracked and let it cook longer than I’d hoped, it didn’t change the delicious taste one bit! Thank you for sharing.❤
I can’t believe you’ve never made this, Wendy! It’s definitely simple AND delicious!
Oh my goodness! I was just looking for a recipe to use up some jiffy mix, creamed, and canned corn and came across this and saw that picture of the three of you! It totally made me smile and warmed my heart. I could just sit and stare at it! There is just something about that picture that is absolutely PRECIOUS and priceless!!!!
Looking forward to making this in a couple of hours, too, by-the-way!
Blessings!
Hi! How sweet about our photograph. It’s one of my favorites as well. Hope the recipe turned out well for you!
It’s on the oven right now cant wait to try this. It will go with my bean soup that is simmering now also. Cant wait for dinner tonight .
I made this tonight in my cast iron skillet to go along with a beef & bean Mexican casserole and honestly, the cornbread was better than the casserole! So moist, not overly sweet & nice & buttery – you don’t need to put butter on this. I’ve tried a lot of cornbread recipes over the years & haven’t made the same one twice because I never found one good enough, until now. This is the best cornbread I’ve ever made & the only one I’ll ever make again.
Hi, Deb. I love using a cast iron skillet as well. I’m so glad you love this recipe as much as we do!
Your are so right, I love it too
What size cast iron skillet? Also, I’ve made a half recipe several times (it is so good) in an 8×8 glass pan, but I’m still struggling with temp and timing. So far, every time it as been underdone.
My whole family loves this corn bread. Very moist & buttery. The pic does not do it justice, it’s full of corn & as high as the 9×13 pan
