Corn Bread Baked in a Slow Cooker
It has always fascinated me that you can bake in a slow cooker. It seems contradictory but, in essence it’s the ideal environment to make and bake moist breads and cakes. While the corn bread will become golden and crispy around the edges and the bottom, the slow cooker doesn’t brown the top as you might expect it to do in a conventional oven. In the case of this corn bread it works perfectly, keeping the texture nice and tender. Serve it warm with butter and honey or smothered with pinto beans or chili, either way slow cooker corn bread is so easy you’ll want to make it again and again.

This is the only way I will make corn bread. Thank you for sharing your recipe with me. Lisa Chaika
I’m so happy you enjoyed it, thanks!
I made this recipe and it is delicious as is. I would like to know how much more sugar to add to make it sweeter and if I used 2 cans of creamed corn would I have to adjust other measured ingredients to compensate. I trying to make the recipe into a wet cornbread recipe instead of moist cake like but using the crockpot. I have my mom’s original recipe for wet cornbread but it’s more labor intensive. Thanks
Hi Beth, you would have to change things around to add another can of creamed corn. You can add more sugar just taste and adjust to what it is you’re trying to recreate. Perhaps this recipe for Corn Casserole would suit you better.
Can this recipe be made without the creamed corn? Fam is not a fan of creamed corn haha so I’m hesitant to add it
It’s an important part of this recipe.
Could this cornbread be cooled down, turned upside down, and popped into a platter? Thanks!
Yes, it can.
Can this be made without the sugar? Love using my crockpot for making suppertime easier. Thanks.
I make this recipe just as it’s written so, I can’t attest to how it would turn out making that change. If you try it let me know how it goes.
what is 2 cups self-rising yellow corn meal
in SA we have Mielie Meal which is a type of flour
I’ve had mielie meal and if it has leavening in it (Baking powder and salt) you likely could adapt this recipe using it.
Cook it on high or low setting?
High
Cannot find self-rising yellow corn meal. How do I compensate? Thank you.
Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/2 tsp salt per cup of cornmeal. (Yes, still use the 1/2 tsp salt called for in the recipe)
Your print link does not work.
It works Gerald, not sure why you’re having an issue.
Actually it works just fine. Use the printer icon under the picture of the cornbread included with the directions.
