Ingredients

Dairy Free Buttermilk

⅓ cup almond milk
or dairy or non-dairy of choice
1 teaspoon vinegar We used apple cider vinegar but you can also use distilled white vinegar or lemon juice.

Air Fryer Jiffy Cornbread

1 whole egg
⅓ cup apple sauce
natural plain
2.5 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon honey
dairy free buttermilk from above
8.5 ounces Jiffy Corn Bread Mix
1 jalapeno chopped - optional (also 1 jalapeno sliced for the top garnish)
¼ cup corn cooked and taken off the cob (can also used canned or thawed frozen corn) - optional

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Pre-heat air fryer to 325 degrees F or 162 degrees C. Choose a thin pan that will fit inside your air fryer and grease well on bottom and sides.
Make dairy free buttermilk: Add almond milk and vinegar into a small bowl, stir and set aside for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, crack the egg into a medium-large bowl and beat. Then add the apple sauce, oil, honey and homemade dairy free buttermilk and mix.
Slowly add in the box of Jiffy corn muffin mix and stir. It will still be slightly lumpy and that is okay. If desired, add corn and chopped jalapeno to the mix and stir.
Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared pan. We like to add sliced jalapenos on top, but this is optional. Air fry cornbread for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy hot with honey and butter or dairy free butter, if desired.

Notes

Storage:

To store leftover cornbread, let it cool down first. Then, wrap in plastic wrap, place in a sealable plastic bag or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cornbread can be frozen for up to 3 months. For the best results, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then place in an airtight container or a freezer safe baggie.

Recipe Tips:

Grease your pan well on the bottom and sides so the corn bread does not stick.
Choose the correct size pan for your air fryer model. It needs to be big enough to hold the batter. However, it also needs to have room around the sides for the air to flow as this is how a convection oven works.
Don’t over mix the cornbread batter as this can make your cornbread dense.
If you have toaster oven style air fryer with 3 racks, place the cornbread on top of the middle rack to cook.
Cook times are an estimate because each brand and model of air fryer is different. In addition, you may be using a different sized baking pan and that can be thicker or thinner. These factors may affect the cooking time.
Don’t rely on time to determine when the corn bread is cooked. Instead, place a toothpick in the center of the cornbread and access. If the toothpick comes out relatively clean and the top of the cornbread is golden brown, it is done.
Our air fryer sometimes cooks a little uneven. It is best to turn it at the 15-minute mark to make sure it cooks evenly and browns on all sides.
