Description

Instant Pot Cornbread is a soft, moist bread made easily in the pressure cooker without using the oven. This hands-off recipe delivers classic cornbread flavor with a tender crumb, making it perfect as a side dish for soups, chili, or comfort food meals.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 7-inch round baking pan that fits inside the Instant Pot to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the cornbread.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and eggs, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the bread.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even cooking.
  6. Set up Instant Pot: Add 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside for elevating the baking pan above the water.
  7. Cook: Place the baking pan on the trivet inside the Instant Pot, cover the pan loosely with foil to prevent condensation from dripping onto the cornbread, then seal the lid and select High Pressure for 40 minutes.
  8. Pressure Release: Once cooking is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the Instant Pot, let the cornbread cool slightly, then slice and serve as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • Covering the pan with foil prevents condensation from dripping onto the bread, which keeps the texture perfect.
  • For variation, add corn kernels or shredded cheese into the batter before cooking for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
