Preheat oven to 400º F. Lightly grease your casserole dish or cast iron skillet and set aside.
Add corn muffin mix into a medium mixing bowl. Then, stir in beaten eggs, cream-style corn, and canola oil or melted butter. Stir just until mixed.
Pour into casserole dish or cast iron skillet. Let batter rest 5 minutes before baking.
Bake at 400ºF for 20-23 minutes, until center is set and cornbread is golden in color. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.
Notes
Before reheating, dampen a paper towel and wrap the cornbread in it. This will help keep the cornbread moist. Because if you don't reheat it correctly, it will crumble easily.
If your cornbread is in the fridge, you can let it heat to room temperature on the counter or heat it for 15 seconds in the microwave.
If your cornbread is frozen, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds and then in 10 second increments until it's as warm as you want.
