Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt 2 tsp if you prefer saltier cornbread
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup creamed corn
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Round Cake Pan

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  2. Add wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until just combined.
  3. Spray a round 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray and pour in the batter. Use a spatula to even out the top, then cover with foil.
  4. Place your pan into the air fryer at 360°F for 25- 30 minutes or until fully set. If an inserted toothpick comes out clean, the cornbread is done.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan slightly before slicing.
  6. Serve warm with butter, honey, or jam.

Notes

  • As you mix, be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, so everything is incorporated.
  • I love using Baker’s Joy nonstick cooking spray for its easy release. 
  • Make this cornbread extra delicious and top it with jalapeno cheddar butter.
