We tried and ranked store-bought boxed cornbread mixes, including Marie Callender's, Krusteaz, Zatarain's, Jiffy, Martha White, and Bob's Red Mill.

To find the very best cornbread mix on the market, our staffers shopped for the most popular cornbread brands and prepped them in our Test Kitchen. Each pan of cornbread was made according to the packages’ directions and tested blindly. Every tester kept these qualities in mind: Flavor: Most importantly, how does the cornbread taste?

The best cornbread mixes are easy to make and produce consistent results every time. We found the best mixes from top brands so you can stock your pantry.

With that in mind, we pulled together 11 different cornbread mixes you’re likely to find in your local supermarket, baked them up as muffins, and had our tasters sample them without knowing which brands they were trying.

We sampled eight different popular cornbread mixes — including Betty Crocker, Jiffy, and Bob’s Red Mill — and this is the clear $2 winner. The golden crust is unreal.
