Delicious southern honey butter cornbread poppers: an incredible 7-ingredient treat recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (8.5 ounces) Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy corn muffin mix, milk, melted butter, honey, and egg. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. Stir in pecans if using.
  3. Step 3: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the cornbread batter.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Step 5: While the cornbread poppers are baking, prepare the honey butter: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until light and fluffy.
  6. Step 6: Once the cornbread poppers are baked, let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with the honey butter.

Notes

  • Store leftover cornbread poppers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
  • For perfectly crisp reheated poppers, briefly warm them in a 350°F oven or air fryer until heated through.
  • Serve these delightful poppers alongside chili, soup, or a fresh salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.
  • To enhance the honey butter's flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a teaspoon of bourbon for an extra touch of warmth.
