You reminded me I have few pouches of the Betty Crocker in the pantry.  I make it in a small skillet and cut into wedges.  Much more natural tasting than Jiffy.  

Will whip it up later.  Thanks for the reminder.

It's the best corn muffin mix I've ever found. I made some just last Tuesday. They're very good. They're hard to find locally these days for some reason. The stores all have lots of the Jiffymix, but I like the Betty Crocker ones more. You would think a company like Betty Crocker would have the pull to get them on the shelves, but they're not available locally these days. I'm not sure why. I can get them through Amazon, so not a big deal.

Just a thought, but it may be that they stopped carrying Betty Crocker because Jiffy was a better seller.  Price is a big consideration these days and maybe people were opting for the cheaper product and Jiffy was a better mover than Betty Crocker.

                  I have not tried those flavors, yet. I would like to try the Apple Cinnamon mix.

                  I make Jiffy Corn Muffins and those are good, quick and easy. I recently found Jiffy Corn Muffin mix with honey and

those are even better, not too sweet.

@gardenman   I have always liked Jiffy corn muffins, especially now with honey in the mix.

 I will have to try Betty Crocker, if I can find it.

DD came home with a Martha White strawberry muffin mix.  Never had heard of it.

Well, we are in the minorty here.  We each took a bite. looked at each other and pitched them all in the trash.

I like the Martha White Lemon Poppyseed Muffin Mix. It's gotten harder to find lately, but Walmart still carries it. 

I have a 6 tin muffin pan, which is perfect for this type of mix. I also use the pan when a recipe makes more than 12 muffins (for the extras) or if I cut a muffin recipe in half.

@gardenman, I wanted to thank you for your tip about Betty Crocker muffin mixes.

I know that I can trust your opinion.

So, yesterday I had a real craving for a delicious something, anything blueberry, so while at the store grabbed a BC muffin mix.

I knew the little can of included blueberries would be a sad affair, but luckily  had a package of blueberries in the freezer, so tossed them in too.

I made a small loaf of bread instead of muffins, & topped it w/ some crunchy sugar.

Wow! It came together so fast, & is even moister & tastier today.

I'm definitely going to keep a few packages in the pantry from now on! Great for a last minute dessert, breakfast treat, or for unexpected company.

Thanks again!

@sabatini @gardenman : I love the Betty Crocker Muffin Mixes and Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes. I have found the smaller size BC  Cookie Mixes at a Dollar Store.

I have the full size BabyCakes muffin maker, you can bake 6 or 12 muffins. So easy and especially in the summer not using the oven. Muffins are easy to freeze and warm in microwave.

Yeah, they make very good muffins with very little effort. I highly recommend them. I'd switched to the Jiffy mix for a while when my local stores stopped carrying the Betty Crocker mixes and it's just not as good. When I found the BC mixes at Amazon, I went back to them.

@gardenman & @SouthernBee, the BC muffin mixes are an eye opener for sure!

Isn't it a nice surprise when something is actually good and as advertised?

It's lovely to share these little gems. TY again.
