Air Fryer Cornbread
This Air Fryer Cornbread (yes, the air fryer!) is quick, easy, and perfectly golden, making it a delicious side for any meal.
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.
