Ingredients

  • 17 ounces cornbread mix 2 boxes of vegetarian jiffy cornbread mix
  • 1½ sticks unsalted butter melted but not hot
  • 2 cans creamed corn
  • 2 cans sweet corn drained
  • 1 16 ounces sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cornbread mix, melted butter, creamed corn, sweet corn, sour cream, eggs, and brown sugar. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  • Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the top is set and slightly golden.
  • Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10–20 minutes. This resting time allows the pudding-like texture to set perfectly. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: Gently stir the ingredients until just combined to keep the cornbread soft and moist and prevent a dense, dry cornbread.
  • Grease Wisely: Grease your baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of your cornbread.
  • Rest the Cornbread: Once finished baking, let the cornbread rest for 10–20 minutes to achieve the perfect pudding-like texture.
  • Don’t use cast-iron skillet: For this sweet cornbread recipe, avoid using cast iron, as it can over-bake the edges and lead to a less tender result.
  • Simplify Cleanup: Mix all ingredients in one bowl for a hassle-free preparation and quick cleanup.
