What's The Difference Between Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and Jiffy Cornbread Mix?

Let's set the record straight. There is no such thing as Jiffy Cornbread Mix. Zero, zilch, nada. Jiffy only makes Corn Muffin Mixes (and other baking mixes) but no cornbread mix. You can use the corn muffin mix for cornbread, but it's not an actual product you will ever find on the shelves. However, they do make a few versions of their corn muffin mix. A classic version, a vegetarian version, and a honey version.

Is Vegetarian Jiffy Mix Vegan?

Yes, the vegetarian box (with the green label) is vegan as well. It replaces the lard in the classic mix with vegetable oil (which also contains soy).

Is Jiffy Gluten-Free?

No, there are no gluten-free versions of Jiffy mix. They all contain wheat flour.

What Is Jiffy Baking Mix?

Jiffy does make an all-purpose baking mix. This mix does not contain cornmeal and can be used for any general baking recipe. It is not gluten-free or vegan.

Is Bisquick The Same As Jiffy?

Bisquick and Jiffy's all-purpose baking mixes are similar, but Bisquick only contains flour, oil, starch, sugar, salt, and leavening ingredients. Jiffy contains flour, starch shortening, buttermilk, sugar, salt, and leavening ingredients. The shortening and dried buttermilk give Jiffy products a slightly different taste and texture. However, Bisquick does have a gluten-free version of their baking mix which is also vegan and allergen-free!

Ingredients For Gluten-Free Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

• Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: Your favorite all-purpose gluten-free flour will be the base of this recipe and replace the wheat flour in the classic Jiffy mix.
• Yellow Cornmeal: A medium grind, coarse yellow cornmeal is what will make this a CORN muffin mix!
• Baking Powder: The baking powder acts as the leavening ingredient needed for this self-rising flour mix to rise!
• Granulated Sweetener: You can use a sugar-free sweetener like Swerve or any granulated sugar you'd like. This gives the mix a simple, subtle sweetness.
• Salt: A pinch of salt to make this mix flavorful and help with leavening.
• Oil: The neutral-flavored oil in the pre-made mix is optional, but you'll need to remember to use it for certain recipes like making muffins. It keeps the mix moist along with the non-dairy milk and egg replacement you will need for standard Jiffy recipes. Adding it to the mix is fine though and takes out a step later on!

Additional Ingredients Needed For Baking Recipes

• Egg Replacement: You can use a simple flax egg or commercial egg replacement like Bob Red Mill to make gluten-free and vegan Jiffy corn muffins.
• Non-Dairy Milk: Unsweetened non-dairy milk of your choice will be the liquid needed for standard Jiffy recipes.
