Jiffy Vegetarian Corn Muffin Mix – 8.5 oz | East West Grocer UK

Jiffy Vegetarian Corn Muffin Mix

Discover the warm, comforting taste of classic American home baking with Jiffy Vegetarian Corn Muffin Mix — a deliciously simple way to create golden, fluffy cornbread or muffins in minutes. Made by the renowned Chelsea Milling Company in Michigan, USA, this mix has been a kitchen staple for generations, loved for its consistent quality, ease of use, and authentic corn flavour.

What makes this version special is its vegetarian-friendly formulation. Traditional Jiffy mixes once contained animal fat (lard), but this vegetarian blend uses pure vegetable shortening made from palm and soybean oils, delivering the same moist texture and buttery richness without any animal ingredients. It’s perfect for those who want the signature Jiffy taste while keeping their diet fully vegetarian.

Each box contains 8.5 oz (240 g) of mix — just add one egg and 1/3 cup of milk to create a smooth, slightly sweet batter that bakes into six to eight light, golden muffins or one small pan of cornbread. The result is soft and tender inside, with a delicate crumb and a gently crisp crust. The flavour is mildly sweet with a wholesome corn aroma — comforting, nostalgic, and versatile enough to pair with both savoury and sweet dishes.

Versatility is one of Jiffy’s greatest strengths. Serve warm muffins alongside soups, stews, chili, or barbecue for a hearty meal. For a creative twist, stir in jalapeños, shredded cheese, corn kernels, herbs, or even a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. You can also use it as a base for casseroles, cornbread stuffing, or savoury pie toppings.
