Yes! Use a 9×13 inch pan instead, and increase the baking time to about 60 minutes, checking every 5 minutes from there.

Can I use a different corn muffin mix?

Jiffy is the most popular, but any 8-ounce corn muffin mix will work!

How do I know when it’s done?

The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick should come out clean when poked in the middle.
