Tuesday’s Cupful: JIFFY Muffin Mix

A magical box that's a thrifty bet

You may have walked by a shelf or display loaded with these neat little muffin mixes. The simple red, white, and blue boxes say, “America ‘s Favorite.” JIFFY has been in the milling business for over a century in Chelsea, Mich. Cooks just have to add an egg and milk to make any flavor of their muffin mixes. Look for unique flavors, such as oatmeal, chocolate, and bran with dates. JIFFY corn muffin mix makes for a dense, satisfying, and sweet pumpkin coconut pudding. But perhaps the best thing about JIFFY muffin mixes is the cost. These mixes are usually a bargain with an average price around one buck or less per box. Can you think of any other recipes that can use this food item?

  1. My mom always made the best cake with Jiffy mix. Its a white cake mix at the bottom of a 13x9 pan, (makes a thin layer of cake), topped with vanilla pudding mixed with cream cheese, topped with drained crushed pineapple topped with cool whip. SO good!! Jiffy was always our go to for corn bread, too.
