Description

This Slow Cooker Homemade Cornbread recipe offers a soft, moist, and flavorful bread made effortlessly in your slow cooker. Combining cornmeal and flour with a hint of sweetness and a tender crumb, it’s a perfect side dish for any meal, especially Southern-inspired dishes. The slow cooking technique ensures even baking without the need for an oven, making it a convenient and reliable recipe.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

For Greasing

  • Oil or butter for greasing the slow cooker

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Grease a 6-quart oval slow cooker thoroughly with oil or butter to prevent sticking during cooking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, crack in the eggs, and add the melted butter. Stir gently just until the dry ingredients are moistened, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Cook the batter: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on High for 2½ to 3 hours or on Low for 4 to 5 hours. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the cornbread cool for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the slow cooker onto a platter to release the cornbread, slice, and serve warm with butter or honey if desired.

Notes

  • Check the center of the cornbread at the early end of the cooking time range to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve the cornbread warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Butter or honey are excellent accompaniments to enhance flavor.
  • If your slow cooker size differs, cooking times may vary slightly.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
