Krusteaz Honey Cornbread

The Krusteaz Honey Cornbread and Muffin Mix has quickly become my go-to for delicious, homemade-style cornbread. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and corn flavor, and the addition of honey gives it a rich, slightly sweet taste that makes it stand out from other cornbread mixes. Taste & Texture (10/10) This cornbread bakes up moist, fluffy, and slightly crumbly—just the way it should be! The honey adds a light sweetness that complements savory dishes perfectly. Whether served with chili, BBQ, or just butter and honey, it always tastes amazing. Ease of Use (10/10) Super simple to make—just add eggs, milk, and oil, mix, and bake! The instructions are straightforward, and the batter comes together quickly with no hassle. You can also make muffins instead of a traditional cornbread loaf, which is a great option for portion control. Ingredients & Quality (9/10) I love that this mix contains no artificial flavors or colors. It has a great homemade taste without needing extra ingredients. While it does contain some sugar, the overall flavor is well-balanced and not overly sweet. Packaging & Portion Size (9/10) The 15-ounce box makes a good amount of cornbread—perfect for a family meal. However, I’d love to see a larger size available because we go through it so quickly! Final Verdict If you’re looking for easy-to-make, delicious cornbread with a hint of honey, Krusteaz Honey Cornbread Mix is a must-try. It’s foolproof, flavorful, and pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes. I’ll definitely keep this stocked in my pantry!

Apparently several varieties of cornbread are included under this listing. This review is for the Honey Cornbread mix – full fat. This is not my first box of this product. I use it when time is short and I need to pull a meal together quickly. Taste is subjective which probably explains the difference in opinion regarding this product. Some people like jiffys (I don’t) and/or love marie callendars (a family member calls it cake not cornbread), but I think Krusteaz is closer in flavor and texture to made from scratch. On the box is a recipe using the mix but adding canned corn kernels, bacon crumbles, grated cheddar and chopped green onion. Chile was the plan for dinner so I changed the recipe by adding 1/2 cup cooked frozen corn kernels (don’t like canned,) 1/2 cup grated cheddar and a tablespoon of dried red bell pepper to the mix. The mix itself requires 2/3 cup milk, an egg and 1/3 cup oil/melted butter. Besides additional flavor, the extra ingredients also added texture and visual interest – all with minimal effort. I prepare the mix with oil (olive) rather than butter and the taste is fine, although no question butter would make it even more delicious. The mix is slightly sweet and moist. I used the directions for high altitude. And, because I was using a dark tin muffin pan adjusted the temperature down to 395 degree instead of 400, and reduced the cooking time to 18 minutes instead of 20 and they were perfectly cooked. It is easy to overcook the batter and end-up with a dry crumbly result, so I always test with a bamboo skewer when it a few minutes before bake time is complete. The muffins/cornbread freezes well although they should be consumed within three months which is when the taste will begin to deteriorate. Lately, although the regular cornbread mix is usually in stock at my local market, the honey cornbread variety is not always on the shelf so it is good to find it here. The “best buy” date on the box was fourteen months in the future.

I enjoy this brand of cornbread a lot. I supplement the mix with an additional 1/2 cup of honey, so that it tasts more like the Marie Callendar's corn bread from the restaurants.

They are very sweet, too sweet for my taste.

I used to always buy that "other" corn bread mix, until I tried this. I will NEVER go back! This is soooo good!

Good taste and easy

Tasted great.
