My Easy Mini Cornbread Recipe was developed to be added to my THANKSGIVING CORNBREAD STUFFING. I made sure that I made plenty of batter so we could also enjoy the cornbread on its own. How cute are these mini cornbreads? I am fairly sure I saw the baking tin at Sur Le Table. When I saw it, I was not exactly sure when I would use it but I knew I would find ways to use it. Don’t you agree that this is a super cool way to serve cornbread as a side for your meal.

The cornbread recipe is pretty traditional. The dry ingredients are all purpose flour, corn meal, baking soda and baking powder. The wet ingredients are buttermilk, eggs and butter. Just like when you bake desserts, the wet ingredients and dry ingredients are mixed together. Then, poured into whatever baking vessel you plan to use. It is really that simple. But it is so good.
Cornbread recipes can be versatile. I have made a number of different cornbread recipes including a CORNBREAD made with non-fat yogurt; a PUMPKIN HONEY CORN BREAD; a JALAPENO CHEDDAR CHEESE CORNBREAD – I made this one so many years ago that I did not even remember making it – but it looks good and I will need to pull this one out again; and a CAST IRON SKILLET CORNBREAD that I have not made in a long time either. This recipe also included fresh corn colonels added to the batter. What I will now have to try to make is a gluten free version since I am joining my wife’s in her new diet regimen.

Easy Mini Cornbread Recipe
This super cute mini cornbread loaves are the perfect side for any meal.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 Cups Ground Cornmeal
- 6 tsp Baking powder
- 3/4 tsp Baking soda
- 3 tsp Sugar optional
- 2 1/2 cups Buttermilk
- 3 whole Eggs beaten
- 1 1/2 Sticks Butter melted and divided
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk cornmeal, all-purpose flour with salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk with eggs until homogenous. Whisking constantly, drizzle in all but 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Whisk liquid ingredients into dry ingredients just until thoroughly mixed; avoid over-mixing.
Pour remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter into preheated skillet and carefully swirl to coat bottom and sides. Scrape batter into prepared skillet, smoothing the top gently with a rubber spatula. Bake until cornbread is lightly browned on top and a skewer inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
Let cool for about 15 minutes in skillet, then serve warm.
Enjoy!
I would only like a recipe for 2 people. I made this recipe and it was to much for me and a friend. Could you help me.
Pam, I have similar problems when I am only cooking for my wife and me. You can simple cut the recipe in 1/2. The other thing I do is freeze half of what I make. This recipe will freeze just fine. Make sure to wrap the corn bread tightly in either plastic wrap and then foil, or an airtight container.
I would like to make this using my mini loaf pan. Want to double check on the baking time. 45 minutes seems a bit long for the mini loan pan.
I am so glad you found this recipe. It has been a while since I made these so I do not recall. What I would do to play safe is check after 30 minutes. I would test in 2 ways. First, press down with a finger. There should be a little give. Also, do the old toothpick trick. Insert a toothpick in to the cornbread and if it comes out clean, it is done. If batter sticks to it, then it is not done. I hope this helps and let me know how it turns out for you.
Sounds like a yummy recipe…however, your instructions reads as baking in a skillet while photos and recipe title says mini cornbread loaves.
Yvonne, I did not catch that but I used the same recipe that I originally made in a skillet. I just liked the look using this new loaf tin I bought.
