Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix

I recently tried a cornbread and muffin mix that was absolutely fantastic! Not only was it incredibly delicious, but it was also very fresh and easy to make. The mix produced fluffy and moist cornbread and muffins that were a hit with both kids and adults alike. What I loved most about this mix was how simple it was to prepare. All I had to do was follow the instructions on the package, which were clear and easy to understand. The mix required just a few additional ingredients that I already had in my pantry, making it a convenient option for a quick and tasty treat. The end result was a batch of cornbread and muffins that were golden brown, with a delightful aroma that filled my kitchen. The texture was perfect, with a slightly crunchy crust and a soft, tender interior. The cornbread had a sweet and savory flavor, while the muffins were light and fluffy. What impressed me the most was how much my kids loved this cornbread and muffin mix. They couldn't get enough of it and kept asking for more. It was a great way to introduce them to the flavors of cornbread and muffins, and they quickly became a favorite snack. Overall, I highly recommend this cornbread and muffin mix for its fantastic taste, freshness, and ease of preparation. It's a great option for busy families who want to enjoy a homemade treat without the hassle. Give it a try, and I'm sure you and your kids will love it as much as we did!

This corn bread mix is literally the amazing, really easy to make, the husband LOVES it. Tastes delicious with a little honey butter. But yet, it felt lazy because come on… it’s a few ingredients and surely, I could do better. I don’t personally like one of my best dishes, chili, to be marred by a boxed cornbread. What if someone asked how I made the cornbread and I replied- from a box. No. So I don’t use this gem anymore and guess what, it is JUST as easy to make your own. It’s less money in the long run but more importantly, you can win points by saying you made it from scratch. Easiest, fool proof thing. See this recipe below. I add a little honey to the batter and it’s even better than the box. 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup yellow cornmeal 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/3 cup neutral oil or melted butter 1 large egg 1 cup milk Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or cast iron skillet well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk to combine well. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your oil or butter, milk, and egg. Stir just until the mixture comes together and there are only a few lumps remaining. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Krusteaz Honey Cornbread & Muffin Mix offers a convenient way to enjoy a sweet, moist cornbread with a hint of honey. It's easy to prepare—just add milk, egg, and oil—and yields a soft, fluffy texture that's perfect as a side dish or snack. While many customers appreciate its sweetness and moistness, some have noted an aftertaste that might not appeal to everyone. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those seeking a quick and tasty cornbread option.

Krusteaze is my all time go-to baking product and the cornbread mix tops them all!! Easy and delicious so y'all jes gotta taste it! Now, the downside is Amazon's fault....the corbread box arrived in a mailing envelope which had been run over by a truck....subsequently, there is no box to speak of, merely a cardboard covering to protect the plastic bag which contains the recipe. It is pathetic looking on my shelf, but I won't give up the cornbread. Amazon has sometimes dropped the shipping ball on some of my food purchases...this ball went thud!

The price

I baked for a BBQ pool party and they were all gone

Apparently several varieties of cornbread are included under this listing. This review is for the Honey Cornbread mix – full fat. This is not my first box of this product. I use it when time is short and I need to pull a meal together quickly. Taste is subjective which probably explains the difference in opinion regarding this product. Some people like jiffys (I don’t) and/or love marie callendars (a family member calls it cake not cornbread), but I think Krusteaz is closer in flavor and texture to made from scratch. On the box is a recipe using the mix but adding canned corn kernels, bacon crumbles, grated cheddar and chopped green onion. Chile was the plan for dinner so I changed the recipe by adding 1/2 cup cooked frozen corn kernels (don’t like canned,) 1/2 cup grated cheddar and a tablespoon of dried red bell pepper to the mix. The mix itself requires 2/3 cup milk, an egg and 1/3 cup oil/melted butter. Besides additional flavor, the extra ingredients also added texture and visual interest – all with minimal effort. I prepare the mix with oil (olive) rather than butter and the taste is fine, although no question butter would make it even more delicious. The mix is slightly sweet and moist. I used the directions for high altitude. And, because I was using a dark tin muffin pan adjusted the temperature down to 395 degree instead of 400, and reduced the cooking time to 18 minutes instead of 20 and they were perfectly cooked. It is easy to overcook the batter and end-up with a dry crumbly result, so I always test with a bamboo skewer when it a few minutes before bake time is complete. The muffins/cornbread freezes well although they should be consumed within three months which is when the taste will begin to deteriorate. Lately, although the regular cornbread mix is usually in stock at my local market, the honey cornbread variety is not always on the shelf so it is good to find it here. The “best buy” date on the box was fourteen months in the future.

I used to always buy that "other" corn bread mix, until I tried this. I will NEVER go back! This is soooo good!
