Yes. The mix is specifically formulated for both cornbread loaves and muffins, so you can portion the batter into a greased or lined muffin tin and adjust the bake time down for muffins.

Can I use a milk alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk in this mix?
Yes. The recipe works with common dairy free milk alternatives, so it is easy to bake for guests with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
What is in the box when I open it?
Inside the 16 oz box you will find a single sealed pouch of dry cornbread mix and a printed recipe panel that includes Dolly's Favorite Jalapeno Cornbread recipe along with standard baking instructions.
Do I need to buy anything separately to bake this mix?
You only need to supply basic wet ingredients, which are typically eggs, milk or a milk alternative, and oil or melted butter, plus a bowl, whisk, and baking pan or muffin tin.
Is this product safe for people with gluten sensitivity?
This is a wheat based cornbread mix and is not formulated to be gluten free, so it is not suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity unless the current package specifically states otherwise.
How long does the dry mix stay fresh on the shelf?
As a dry boxed mix, it has a long shelf life. Always check the best by date printed on the package and store the box in a cool, dry place for best quality.
What is the difference between this Duncan Hines Dolly Parton mix and a standard cornbread mix?
