The Best cornbread with cream corn recipe

I have been making cornbread for years, but this cornbread with cream corn recipe is the one my family asks for again and again. The cream corn keeps the bread extra moist and tender, so it never turns out dry or crumbly. My kids love the slightly sweet flavor, and I love that it comes together with just a few simple ingredients. This recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners, holiday meals, or anytime you want a side dish that feels special without a lot of fuss. Plus, cornmeal adds fiber and whole grains, so it is a little more wholesome than your average bread.

🥘Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1 cup cream style corn
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

3In a separate bowl, combine the cream corn, milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until well blended.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Moist Cream Corn Cornbread

1. Can I use frozen or canned cream corn?

Yes, you can use either. Canned cream corn is the most convenient and works perfectly. If using frozen, thaw it completely and drain off any excess liquid before adding it to the batter.

2. Why is my cornbread dry?

This recipe uses cream corn to keep the bread moist. If your cornbread turned out dry, you may have overmixed the batter or baked it too long. Check for doneness a few minutes early and mix only until the ingredients are combined.

3. Can I make this cornbread gluten free?

Yes, you can substitute the all purpose flour with a 1 to 1 gluten free baking flour blend. The texture may be slightly different, but it will still be moist and delicious.

4. How should I store leftover cornbread?

Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can reheat slices in the microwave or oven.

5. Can I add other ingredients like cheese or jalapenos?

Absolutely. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, a diced jalapeno, or even some cooked bacon bits into the batter before baking for extra flavor.
