How to make sweet jiffy cornbread?

The secret to making this jiffy cornbread recipe sweet is the fact that you will use a muffin mix that already has some sugar added to it.

If you are looking for extra sweet cornbread, which I highly suggest, be sure you add the two tablespoons of sugar to give it that extra sweet kick you are looking for.

If you are not a fan of white sugar, You could try adding in brown sugar, coconut sugar, or a sugar alternative but those variations were not tested so identical results are not guaranteed.

Substituting the milk for any other liquid in this jiffy cornbread recipe isn’t recommended because it could change the texture of the final product.
