How to Make Air Fryer Corn Bread
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
Step One: Stir all the ingredients together until smooth.
Step Two: Make sure that the pan you are going to use actually fits into your air fryer first! Pour the cornbread batter into the greased baking dish.
Step Three: Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 250 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes until the coloring is golden brown and the middle no longer jiggles.Â
Step Four: Let cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a serving plate.
Top Tip
Using a cake pan can be the perfect way to make this easy air fryer cornbread recipe. A loaf pan won't work because of the square size, so a circle pan is key. Be sure to use parchment paper or cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Substitutions
- Leave out the corn - You don't have to add the loose corn if you don't want to.
- Greek yogurt - Unflavored Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream.
- Alternative milk options - If you don't want to use regular milk, almond milk or other milk variations will work.
Variations
- Brown sugar- If you like your cornbread more than a little bit sweet, add some brown sugar for fun flavors.
- Make delicious air fryer cornbread muffins - Find a small muffin pan or use silicone muffin cups and make single serve muffins!

Equipment
To make this simple Jiffy cornbread mix recipe, you'll need to have a cake or casserole pan and an air fryer.
Storage
Leftover cornbread needs to be stored in an airtight container. It can be kept at room temperature but needs to be eaten within 2-3 days.
You can freeze leftover cornbread as well, but the texture might be a bit crumbly once thawed. To add softness back to the frozen cornbread, wrap a piece in a clean napkin and microwave for 10-15 seconds.
Common Questions
Â
My whole family loves pairing this thicker cornbread with BBQ ribs and other BBQ foods. It's the perfect balance and texture.Â
You can drizzle honey, syrup, butter, or simple eat it without any toppings at all. Any way is a delicious way so do what your taste buds love.Â
Make sure that you're paying close attention to the measurements listed on the printable recipe card below. The liquid additons are important to help with the moisture of the cooked bread.
Also, don't overcook the bread in the air fryer. The edges will be golden brown, and once you see that the middle isn't jiggly, it's time to remove the bread so that it doesn't overbake.
