Jiffy Eggless Mexican Cornbread with Jalapeno and Cheese

Mexican style Eggless corn bread made easy by using a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix.This extremely moist cornbread has crisp golden edges and soft,fluffy center. Flavored with jalapenos and cheese,the cornbread is moist,sweet,savory and spicy and looks festive and attractive with a sprinkling of red peppers and jalapenos.

This cornbread can be made vegan by using vegan cheese and substituting the sour cream with applesauce. I have tried with eggs many a times but always hesitated on trying the egg free version. But the Applesauce is a great substitute for eggs and made a really soft and moist cornbread.

I have also used Martha White Cornbread Mix and it does turn out just as good. Since Jiffy has a vegetarian version and is also the most widely available, I have made this recipe with Jiffy Corn Muffin mix.This recipe has been tried multiple times in my kitchen before being published. I have tried with the regular jiffy as well as the vegetarian variety and found no difference in taste or texture between the two.The color however in my opinion was bright yellow with the regular kind.

Ingredients

  

  • 2 8.5 oz/240 gms Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

  • 8 oz/225 gms Apple sauce 2 individual servings of Applesauce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend/Taco cheese use vegan cheese for a vegan option
  • 1/2 cup sour cream Use Apple sauce for vegan option
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos gently squeeze out excess liquid and mash roughly with a fork
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced green chilies/minced jalapenos omit for mild cornbread
  • 2/3 cup Red pepper diced fine(save a few for sprinkling on top)
  • Crushed Red pepper flakes and chopped jalapenos for topping

Instructions

 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F
  • Brush an 9*13 inch rectangular pan with oil and line the bottom with parchment paper
  • In a bowl add oil,apple sauce,creamed corn,cheese,jalapeno,sour cream,minced green chilies and diced red pepper and mix well
  • Add Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and mix very gently to break up the big lumps-do not overmix, we want a lumpy batter
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan
  • Top with pepper flakes,chopped jalapenos and diced red pepper
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or till tooth pick comes out clean(For me it took 35 minutes,start checking at 30 minutes)
  • Cool in pan for an hour and then cut into pieces

Notes

Can use Monterey Jack cheese or taco cheese instead of shredded Mexican cheese. This cornbread can be made vegan by substituting vegan cheese instead of cheese and applesauce instead of sour cream. The best way to bake cornbread is in a cast iron pan or a metal cake pan. Put some oil in the cast iron pan/metal pan and heat the cast iron pan in the oven so that both the pan and oil are hot. When you put your batter in this hot pan,it gives a very nice crisp crust all along the sides. I have made the corn bread with egg like this in a cast iron pan but not tried the egg free version in a cast iron pan. For eggless version I always prefer to use parchment paper at bottom,for easy release. I have also made half the quantity in an 8*8 pan. For half the recipe,use square 8*8 pan and bake for 30 minutes, start checking at 25 minutes.

    I made this cornbread first time yesterday and we all loved it. It was a blessing for me since this was eggless, finally I can enjoy cornbread. Thank you.

      Thanks Nishita, so glad to hear you can finally enjoy cornbread. This recipe does turn out delicious and many readers who can’t eat eggs have loved this easy recipe.

    Hi! I’m planning to make this recipe first time for my party tomorrow. Just wanted to know if I could make this in the morning to be served in the evening. Basically, can you please let me know if it is served warm or room temp? TIA

    • Aanchal Gupta

      Hi, it can be made in the morning or day before. Cut into pieces and I like to warm in air fryer for just a few minutes before serving. That warms up the cornbread and also crisps up the bread. Can be served at room temperature. Do put few pieces in air fryer and warm. That’s preferable

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience. So many people have shared how they can finally enjoy cornbread without eggs. It has so much flavor and it’s so moist as well. I also like how it crisps up a bit when you air fry the pieces.
