How To Cook Cornbread In Air Fryer Oven

If you’re a cornbread lover like me, you know that there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a warm and fluffy slice of cornbread. And if you’re also an air fryer enthusiast, you’re in luck! Today, I’m going to show you how to cook cornbread in an air fryer oven. Trust me, this method will give you perfectly golden brown cornbread that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

What you’ll need:

1. 1 cup cornmeal
2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
3. 2 tablespoons sugar
4. 1 tablespoon baking powder
5. 1 teaspoon salt
6. 1 cup milk
7. 1/4 cup melted butter
8. 1 egg, beaten

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer oven

Before you begin, preheat your air fryer oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your cornbread bakes evenly and reaches that perfect golden color.

Step 2: Prepare the cornbread batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense cornbread.

Step 3: Grease your air fryer oven basket

Grease the basket of your air fryer oven with a light coating of oil or non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the cornbread from sticking to the basket and make it easier to remove once it’s done baking.

Step 4: Pour the cornbread batter

Pour the cornbread batter into the greased air fryer oven basket. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking. If you prefer a thicker cornbread, you can pour the batter higher. For a thinner cornbread, pour the batter lower.

Step 5: Air fry your cornbread

Place the basket with the cornbread batter into the preheated air fryer oven. Bake for around 15-20 minutes or until the cornbread is cooked through and golden brown on top. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cornbread; if it comes out clean, it’s ready!

Step 6: Let it rest and serve

Once your cornbread is cooked, carefully remove it from the air fryer oven using oven mitts or tongs. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it as a side dish with your favorite soup or chili, or simply savor it on its own.

And there you have it! A simple and delicious way to cook cornbread in an air fryer oven. The air fryer’s hot circulating air creates that perfect crispy crust while keeping the inside moist and tender. So next time you’re craving cornbread, skip the traditional oven and give your air fryer oven a try. Your taste buds will thank you!
