Ingredients

1 box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix

1 large egg

1/3 cup milk (or dairy alternative)

1/4 cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)

1/2 cup corn kernels (optional, for added sweetness and texture)

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, if you like a sweeter cornbread)

Cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions

Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, egg, milk, melted butter, and sugar (if using). Stir until just combined. If you’re adding corn kernels, fold them in gently.

Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Lightly spray a small cake pan or air fryer-safe baking dish with cooking spray.

Pour the Batter: Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top gently with a spatula.

Air Fry the Cornbread: Carefully place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the cornbread from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey for an extra touch!
