Penguin makes an excellent cornbread mix that I make without dairy or eggs. It has a great taste and bits of corn kernels in the mix. My kids eat them by the handfulls; they are good bribes for eating the other items on their plates.
I make it without eggs or dairy by using soy milk and substituting 1 teaspoon baking powder + 1 Tablespoon water + 1 Tablespoon vinegar (added last) for each egg. If possible, let the mixture sit for a few minutes before you pour it into the muffin cups. Cook 18 minutes for muffins.
The only drawback to not using eggs is that they are a bit more crumbly, but they taste great. You can use vanilla soymilk for a sweeter taste.
You can buy a big box at Costco that contains several packets that make a dozen muffins or one loaf each. Occasionally they are out of stock, so I buy a couple of boxes at a time.
Bon appetit!

I don’t believe that the Costco in Indy stocks the cornbread anymore. The last time I was able to purchase it there, was a year ago. I’ve been trying to find it elsewhere. Any suggestions??? I threw my last box away and am unable to locate the Penguin company. Help!

Oh no!
This happened to me last year. They told me at my Costco that the mix is considered a seasonal item. I’ve run into this problem before, but it’s always come back eventually. It stays good for a long time, so I always stock up.
I have the same “seasonal” problem with their dried blueberries, btw, which are fabulous.
