Sour Cream Maple Cornbread

TIP: Greek or Icelandic yogurt can be substituted for sour cream. Having milk and eggs at room temperature helps batter cook evenly. Can substitute vegetable oil for coconut oil. Can substitute vegan butter for unsalted butter. Certain baking powders are not gluten-free, so be sure to check this to ensure a gluten-free loaf.

  • Small Bowl

Instructions

Step 1
Add 1/2 cup water to the pot.

Step 2
Spray the bottom of the Ninja Multi-Purpose Pan (or 8-inch round baking pan) with nonstick cooking spray. Place an 8-inch circle of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk oil and butter until combined.

Step 4
To make the batter, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sour cream, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Pour the oil mixture into the flour mixture and whisk to incorporate. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, and eggs. Whisk until combined. Quickly add batter to the prepared pan.

Step 5
Place the bottom layer of Deluxe Reversible Rack in the lower position, place the pan on the rack, then place the rack in the pot.

Step 6
Close lid and move slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 315°F, and set time to 25 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 8 minutes as the unit steams, then timer will start counting down).

Step 7
When cooking is complete, check doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the middle of the cornbread. If it comes out clean, remove the rack with the pan and let cool for at least 30 minutes. If the toothpick come out with moist crumbs stuck to it, continue to bake until the toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8
When the loaf has cooled, slice and serve with butter, as desired.
