Ingredients
1 box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
2. Steam fresh broccoli for 2–3 minutes or thaw frozen broccoli completely, then pat dry.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
4. Add the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix and stir gently until just combined.
5. Fold in the broccoli, cheese, onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Make sure to drain and dry your broccoli well to avoid soggy cornbread.
Let the cornbread cool before slicing to keep it from crumbling.
Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded and adds a richer taste.
