Buttery Homemade Cornbread: Do We Need to Say More?
Say goodbye to cornbread that tastes like sawdust and hello to moist, rich, buttery and abundantly flavorful cornbread muffins. We harnessed the delicious flavors of spoonbread—a Southern classic chock full of butter, and sour cream—and created a healthier, sturdier version that doesn’t play second fiddle to a bowl of chili. Finish them off with a sexy drizzle of jalapeño honey, for those who’d like a little spice. We also love to serve them with soup! Try our Taco soup, Chipotle Chicken Soup or our Tortilla Soup. For a faster corn fix, try our plain cornbread or corn fritters!
Homemade Jalapeno Honey is a Sweet-Spicy Wonder
To make this recipe more versatile, we deconstructed a jalapeño cornbread recipe, with the jalapeño element served on the side. That way if not everyone is a spice lover, they can simply skip the jalapeno honey. With that said, if you like your cornbread with a side of heat, we recommend a good drizzle all over your serving of cornbread! It adds a sticky sweet spice that cannot be beat.
- Depending on your love for heat, either add ½ jalapeno or a whole jalapeno to a heatproof glass jar.
- Pour warm honey over top.
- Let it infuse while you whip up a batch of these cornbread muffins with creamed corn! When the corn muffins are done, the honey will be ready, too.
A Cornbread Recipe That You’ll Want To Serve with Everything
We’re firm believers in making cornbread from scratch. Our cornbread recipe with creamed corn doesn’t take much longer to prepare than box mix yet tastes a thousand times better. Serving it with chili is always a classic move, but why limit yourself? Try serving this moist cornbread with:
Did someone say Black Bean Soup?

How to Make Cornbread with Creamed Corn
Two bowls + twenty minutes = digging into a hot-from-the-oven dish of cornbread with creamed corn and sour cream. Here’s how to make it:
- Mix your dry ingredients!
- Whisk the wet ingredients!
- Combine everything together into one luxurious batter—lumps are okay!
- Walk away for 10 minutes to allow for even hydration of the batter.
- Divide evenly between 12 muffin cups sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Bake!
