Notes
Store homemade cornbread mix in a plastic bag or lightly closed jar for several weeks at room temperature. You can also freeze the mix for up to 3 months.
The Jiffy corn muffin copycat mix is vegetarian, it uses vegetable oil in place of lard.
How to make Gluten free corn muffin mix: Use gluten free baking mix in place of the flour (try Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten-free 1-to1 baking flour). *Cornmeal is naturally gluten-free but it is often produced by manufacturers who also process wheat on their machinery, read the label carefully.
