Easy Mini Cornbread Recipe

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 La 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 basics of making the cornbread

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.

The versatility of cornbread

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.

Cook Time 30 minutes
Resting time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings 8 people

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

  1. 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.

    Grease a mini loaf pan generously with butter or spray with no stick spray. Pour the batter into the mini loaf pan. Bake until cornbread is lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 – 40 minutes.

    Let cool for about 15 minutes in the mini loaf pan, then serve warm. 

    Enjoy!

    Can you make this in two mini cast iron skillets you think?

      I would certainly think that would work. Let me know how it turns out?

    Very frustrating thinking this is a recipe for cornbread in mini loaves which I specifically searched for and then to get to the last step to find out it goes in a skillet instead. You should change the title of the recipe. Also, the tag line under the title states: “This super cute mini cornbread loaves are the perfect side for any meal.” That should be removed because it is inaccurate.

      I am sorry for the confusion. As you can see from the pics, it is a recipe for mini loaves. I used my skillet cornbread recipe as the base. I will update the equipment so future readers will not be confused. Thx for stopping by the blog.

      I just made regular batter of cornbread. I divided into the mini loaf pan and baked for minimum time check after 15-20 insert when the toothpick comes clean in center done. Bake on temp your regular cornbread recipe calls for. Hope this helps.

    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.
