    This is the best southern cornbread with bacon, honey, buttermilk, and it's so quick and easy because it uses the Jiffy corn muffin mix! Jiffy bacon cornbread muffins will quickly become your favorite breakfast treat!

    Using the jiffy mix makes making cornbread so easy, quick, and sweet, and by just adding a few extra ingredients really makes it something special!

    Why you will love this recipe: 

    This is the perfect cornbread recipe, especially if you are in a hurry and want something easy. Pro tip: They are extra tasty if you slather it with bourbon honey butter!

    This recipe is all made in one bowl, and using the mix means you don't need to measure out any flour, cornmeal, salt, or baking soda! Just mix all the ingredients in a bowl and transfer it to a dish for baking! 

    This is the perfect recipe, and the bacon flavor really shines.

    Key ingredients:

    Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix: The jiffy mix is great! It's a mix of yellow cornmeal, flour, baking soda, salt, and a bit of sugar, so it takes a lot of the guesswork out of the mixing. 

    Bacon and Bacon Grease: There are 12 slices of bacon and two tablespoons of bacon grease in these muffins to get that perfect bacon flavor. The bacon grease also adds moisture to the cake, so don't skip adding it.

    Buttermilk: Buttermilk provides a nice tang and really brings out the flavor and helps balance the sweetness of the corn. It also provides a lot of moisture so that the bread stays moist. 

    Butter: Butter adds fat and flavor and helps to make this a really buttery dish! 

    Honey: honey helps make this into a nice and sweet but not too sweet cornbread. I like to use honey instead of sugar because it has a deeper flavor. 

    Eggs: Two large eggs help bind the buttermilk cornbread together so that it's not too crumbly.

    Step by step instructions:

    This is so easy to make and be whipped up in a bowl in less than 5 minutes. 

    1. Bake 12 pieces of bacon for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease for the cornbread. Chop the slices of bacon.
    2. Add the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, honey, and bacon grease to a mixing bowl and whisk.
    3. Add the Jiffy mix and bacon and mix until combined.
    4. Let sit 20 minutes so that the ingredients have time to bind. 
    5. Add batter to a lined muffin tin filling each space up 3/4 of the way.
    6. Bake for 20 minutes!

    Tips for success:

    • Melt your butter by zapping it in the microwave for 30 seconds. But let it cool before adding it to the eggs. 
    • Reserve 20-30 pieces of bacon to place on top of the muffins.
    • Baking at a high temp created the beautiful brown and crispy crust.

    FAQ's:

    How to store this recipe, and how long will it last?

    This recipe is best enjoyed the day it's made, but they cant keep in an air-tight container at room temp for 2-3 days.

    Can you use other corn muffin mixes for the recipe?

    Unfortunately not, each corn muffin mix is different can contain different things like egg and milk solids, which Jiffy doesn't have.
