Cornbread is one of my favorite things to serve at a BBQ and this easy homemade cornbread is the perfect recipe! You can make it in no time, and enjoy a delicious and sweet easy side dish idea.
This is very similar to a classic cornbread recipe so you wont need to worry about extraneous ingredients. As long as you have cornmeal in your pantry you will be good to go.
My kids especially love this recipe. They say it is the best cornbread they have ever had. And that is saying something, because you know kids can be picky!
Make sure you serve this delicious cornbread recipe with one of our amazing chili recipes like our Instant Pot Ground Turkey and Pumpkin Chili recipe (talk about the perfect fall recipe!), Instant Pot White Chicken Chili, and Instant Pot Ground Turkey Taco Chili Recipe.
Ingredients Needed Our Easy Homemade Cornbread Recipe:
- Flour
- Cornmeal
- Sugar
- Salt
- Baking powder
- Egg
- Milk
- Vegetable oil
How To Make Our Easy Homemade Cornbread Recipe:
Begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees.
Then grab a 9 inch round cake pan and spray it with some nonstick cooking spray.
Now, in a large bowl mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder until it is all well combined.
Once you are done with that, add in the egg, milk, and vegetable oil until all of the wet ingredients are well combined into the dry ingredients.
When all of the ingredients are mixed together, pour the cornbread batter into the greased 9 inch cake pan and put it in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.
You’ll know it’s done for sure when you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean. Then serve it warm with butter and enjoy!

Sometimes making amazing cornbread can seem impossible, but it’s actually not!
Make sure to follow these tips:
- Make sure to combine the dry ingredients separately from the wet ingredients. By doing this you make sure the sugar, flour, salt, cornmeal, and baking powder are going to be evenly distributed through the whole loaf of cornbread.
- Using the correct temperature and cooking time are key! If your oven is too hot it will dry out the cornbread. If you cook it too long it will also dry out the cornbread.
- Vegetable oil is a must! If we’re being honest, vegetable oil is where a lot of the moisture comes from for this recipe. If you cannot use it, try substituting it with melted butter for the best results.
Why Use Baking Powder:
I am always interested in why specific ingredients are needed. A lot of chemistry goes into baking, so this cornbread recipe is no different. You need to use baking powder instead of using baking soda.
If you want to know why you need to use baking powder, take a look at Scientific American as to how baking powder makes cornbread fluffy!
