Calories 123kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sweetener or sugar Omit if you don't like sweetened cornbread.
- 1 egg Beaten
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted and Measured solid.
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Add the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sweetener to a mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Next add in the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk. Stir to combine.
- Be sure not to over mix the batter. Over-mixing will lead to large cracks in the crust and a lot of crumble. Only mix well enough to combine the ingredients.
- Place silicone baking molds in the air fryer. Pour the batter into each of the silicone muffin molds. Fill each mold 3/4ths full. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook in batches.
- Cook the cornbread muffins for 11-15 minutes on 330 degrees. Mine were ready at 11 minutes. Test if the cornbread has finished by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin and ensure the toothpick returns clean.

Notes
- You can substitute/make your own buttermilk if you wish by combining milk and vinegar (or lemon). Get instructions on How to Make a Buttermilk Substitute here.
- You can use both silicone baking cups or paper cups in the air fryer. The silicone cups are a lot more sturdy, and the muffins are so easy to remove! They are completely nonstick.
- You can use Jiffy box mix if you don't wish to make homemade.
