What you need to make Cornbread in the Air Fryer:
Of course you need an air fryer, like the Cosori Air Fryer or the Instant Vortex. If you want cornbread muffins, you will need silicone muffin cups.
You can also use a square or round baking dish, as long is it fits in your air fryer, or on the tray. If you don't have silicone cups, you can get them separately, or in an air fryer oven accessory kit.

Next, add in the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Then continue to stir the ingredients together into a thick batter.
Fill the baking dish, with the cornbread batter. If using silicone cups, fill until they are about ¾ full.
