Boston Market Cornbread Ingredients

• Cornmeal: Use yellow or white.
• All Purpose Flour: If you make this gluten-free, use all-purpose gluten-free flour!
• Baking Powder: Makes for a moist cornbread
• Granulated Sugar: Adds some sweetness to your cornbread!
• Salt: Use either table salt or sea salt.
• Eggs: Use large room temperature eggs
• Milk: If you want a milk-free (or dairy-free recipe), use a milk substitute, such as almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk.
• Oil: Use either vegetable or canola oil.

How To Make Boston Market Cornbread Recipe

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix.

Step Two: Spray your baking pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling about 2/3 the way full. Set the pan into the air fryer basket. Turn the temperature to 350 degrees F and set cook time for 15-20 minutes until a wooden toothpick into the cake center comes out clean. Then remove the cornbread. Let cool slightly before serving.

Boston Market Cornbread Recipe Tips

• Use a mix of cornmeal and flour – This combo gives you that classic moist yet slightly crumbly texture that mimics Boston Market’s perfectly.
• Don’t overmix the batter – Stir just until combined. Overmixing will make the cornbread tough instead of tender and fluffy.
• Use room temperature ingredients – Let your eggs and milk sit out for a bit before mixing to help the batter come together smoothly.
• Line or grease your baking pan well – This ensures your cornbread won’t stick and gives it a nice golden crust on the bottom.
• Let it rest before slicing – Give the cornbread 10–15 minutes to cool slightly after baking. It’ll be easier to cut and the texture will set beautifully.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep it wrapped tightly to maintain moisture and prevent it from drying out.
• Freezing: Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator when ready to use.
• Reheating: To reheat, wrap cornbread in foil and warm in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes. For a quick option, microwave a slice for 20–30 seconds with a damp paper towel to keep it moist.

Boston Market Cornbread Recipe Faqs

Is it supposed to be sweet? Yes! This cornbread leans on the sweeter side, which is exactly what makes it a standout compared to more savory Southern versions.

Can I make it in muffin tins instead of a baking dish? Absolutely. Just reduce the bake time to around 15–20 minutes and keep an eye on them—they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean.

What’s the best way to serve it? Warm with a pat of butter or drizzle of honey! It pairs beautifully with BBQ, soups, chili, or even as a holiday side dish.
