Now you can make Instant Pot pressure cooker cornbread for the holidays or any time of year! It’s definitely a favorite side dish Instant Pot recipes. (originally published 3/18, affiliate links present)

I’ve used my mini bundt pan to cook some wonderful desserts in my Instant Pot.

I hadn’t attempted any sort of Instant Pot bread though until the other night, it worked really well.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

  • Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
  • Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
    • This is a great InstaPot cookbook and set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
    • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

Why would you bother cooking cornbread this way instead of putting it in your oven?? Well during the summertime there is NO way I am going to turn on my oven!

Cornbread Instant Pot

  • During the holidays I like to eliminate what needs to be baked too.

I used the recipe on the back of the Albers yellow corn meal box. Adding the can of chiles was new because I thought that would give it a wonderful flavor, which it did.

I will say everyone has a preference when it comes to cornbread. One difference would be the add ins.

Want to make spicy cornbread? Add some diced jalapenos if you do. I don’t prefer that but still like added flavor so I like added a can of diced chiles to ours.

It came out really well the first time around even though I wasn’t sure of the timing.

I put it in for 35 minutes and once it cooled was cooked perfectly thru as you can see here. Yes you can make a batch in your oven, but if you love pressure cooking ALL THE THINGS (as I like to say), try this!

I used my mini bundt pan which is one of my Instant Pot accessory recommendations and it helps with cooking it evenly I think.

  • When you use a springform pan instead the inside is going to be moister than the outer rim. I just think using this not only cooks evenly but looks really pretty when you serve it!

I have a 6 qt. Instant Pot and this would serve probably 10-12 people as a side dish with 1 piece each, I wouldn’t add any more to the pan or it will overflow.

How do you make homemade cornmeal?

I didn’t do this but in case you can’t find a ready made product, this is what you can try.

Start by placing 2 cups of dehydrated corn, such as popcorn kernels, into a grain mill or high powered blender. You must grind them on the coarsest setting.

  • Then, pour the coarsely ground corn into a fine mesh strainer. Shake it from side to side so the small pieces fall into a bowl below. What’s in your bowl will be what’s used.
instant pot bundt pan

Pressure cooker cornbread

  1. 6 cup bundt cake pan
    1. Use non stick cooking spray inside before adding mix
    2. Or brush on melted butter
  2. Corn meal – this is the one I used
  3. Flour
  4. Sugar
  5. Baking powder
  6. Salt
  7. Buttermilk 
  8. Oil
  9. Egg
  10. What can I add to cornbread mix? 
    1. Diced chiles are great, we did this with our air fryer cornbread too
    2. Jalapenos cut into very small pieces
    3. Cheese
    4. Bacon bits

What meal goes well with cornbread?

It pairs perfectly with our Instant Pot chili so try them both tonight!

instant pot chili recipe

These are the basic steps to follow:

  1. Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl, add wet ingredients until smooth.
  2. Spray non stick spray into pan, pour batter in.
  3. Pour cup of water into bottom of pot, lower trivet down inside.
  4. Lay a paper towel and then a piece of aluminum foil on top of pan.
  5. Close lid and steam valve, set to high pressure for 35 minutes cooking time.
  6. Allow to naturally release steam, after about 15 minutes remaining pressure should be gone.

If you’re making this for a get together here are other Instant Pot side dishes you can make

  • For an additional dish you could make some Instant Pot corn on the cob for everyone to enjoy.
    • Our Instant Pot creamed corn is yummy too
  • Cheesy Instant Pot scalloped potatoes work for a smaller batch
  • All holidays need a serving of this Instant Pot corn casserole recipe too.

How long does cornbread last in the refrigerator?

To store cornbread, wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Leave it out at room temperature for 1-2 days. If you want your cornbread to stay fresh for longer, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for 1 week.

How do you reheat day old cornbread?

  1. Bake in your oven and preheat to 350 degrees 
  2. If you have cornbread leftovers, place it on a baking sheet
  3. Cover with aluminum foil 
  4. Set your timer 10-15 minutes
  5. You can add moisture by drizzling honey on each piece before serving

Ingredients

  • 1 c yellow corn meal I used Albers brand
  • 1 c all purpose flour
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 c buttermilk or vitamin d milk
  • 1/3 c vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 can chiles minced, we used medium, 4 oz., optional
  • 1 tsp diced jalapeno optional

Instructions

  • Add all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
  • In another bowl gently whip your egg and add your buttermilk and oil, dump this into your dry mixture and fold together gently until combined.
  • Add can of diced chiles (makes it taste really good and not spicy if you use mild, medium is great too). Fold together.
  • Spray the inside of your 6 c bundt pan (this will fit inside a 6qt and 8qt Instant Pot or other pressure cooker). Pour batter inside.
  • Cover top of bundt pan with a paper towel and then with foil and seal around edges.
  • Put a trivet inside your Instant Pot with 2 cups water.
  • Lower your bundt pan on to your trivet (use a sling so you can lift it back out).
  • Close your lid and steam valve and set to pressure, high, for 35 minutes.
  • Allow to naturally release. Take bundt pan out, remove foil and paper towel and cool on a cooling rack.
  • Gently loosen edges from pan so it will slide out. Put cutting board or plate on top and carefully flip over. Remove bundt pan, cut and serve.

    My Mother, 96 years old in January, loves cornbread, especially her Texas Mother’s cornbread which also uses buttermilk. Mother is lactose intolerant so she can’t have her Mother’s Texas cornbread. Do you suppose I could use Lactose Free Milk in your cornbread recipe? Or could I add vinegar to lactose free milk…will it make buttermilk like real milk does with vinegar?? Probably not.

      I don’t think lactose free would be an issue

      I haven’t tried it myself but I can’t imagine why not. I would think as long as the amount or measurement of liquid is the same the far percent shouldn’t matter, in fact I’m sure you could use a non dairy milk source too if you chose to, though a nut milk might add a little of it’s own flavor depending on what it is.

    Wonder if I could cook this in a 6 inch round pan or a 7 inch springform pan. Do you think one of these would work?

      Yes I am just not sure of the timing, haven’t done that yet. Just make sure it’s not filled over 3/4 full because it does rise. Would use same timing here and check. Let me know how it works!
