Equipment

  • air fryer
  • 7-inch round cake pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. cornmeal
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • ¼ c. granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 c. milk
  • ¼ c. unsalted butter melted
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Grease a 7-inch round cake pan that fits into your air fryer basket.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 18-22 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once done, carefully remove the cornbread from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the cornbread tough instead of tender.
  • Make sure to grease your cake pan well, especially the sides, to ensure the cornbread doesn’t stick when you try to remove it.
  • Air fryers can vary, so start checking your cornbread at the 18-minute mark to avoid overcooking. The top should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • For a little something extra, try mixing in some shredded cheese, chopped jalapeños, or corn kernels to the batter before cooking.
