Honey Cornbread and Muffin Mix, No Artificial Flavors and No Artificial Colors, Baking Mix, 15-ounce Box

The Krusteaz Honey Cornbread and Muffin Mix has quickly become my go-to for delicious, homemade-style cornbread. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and corn flavor, and the addition of honey gives it a rich, slightly sweet taste that makes it stand out from other cornbread mixes. Taste & Texture (10/10) This cornbread bakes up moist, fluffy, and slightly crumbly—just the way it should be! The honey adds a light sweetness that complements savory dishes perfectly. Whether served with chili, BBQ, or just butter and honey, it always tastes amazing. Ease of Use (10/10) Super simple to make—just add eggs, milk, and oil, mix, and bake! The instructions are straightforward, and the batter comes together quickly with no hassle. You can also make muffins instead of a traditional cornbread loaf, which is a great option for portion control. Ingredients & Quality (9/10) I love that this mix contains no artificial flavors or colors. It has a great homemade taste without needing extra ingredients. While it does contain some sugar, the overall flavor is well-balanced and not overly sweet. Packaging & Portion Size (9/10) The 15-ounce box makes a good amount of cornbread—perfect for a family meal. However, I’d love to see a larger size available because we go through it so quickly! Final Verdict If you’re looking for easy-to-make, delicious cornbread with a hint of honey, Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix is a must-try. It’s foolproof, flavorful, and pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes. I’ll definitely keep this stocked in my pantry!

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 enjoy this brand of cornbread a lot. I supplement the mix with an additional 1/2 cup of honey, so that it tasts more like the Marie Callendar's corn bread from the restaurants.

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!

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

Tasted great.

Good taste and easy

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!
