Have you tasted the goodness which is Waffle Iron Corn Bread?
There is no big secret involved, simply use your waffle iron to make your cornbread rather than bake it in the oven.
The benefits of making cornbread in the waffle iron
- You get that thin, crispy cornbread which we all love so much
- It is ready in minutes
- Less oil for cooking, just spray the waffle iron
- No crumbs falling all over the place
- It is fun to eat!
It makes an attractive plate too!
It’s so easy. My waffle iron doesn’t get much use, I rarely ever make waffles unless the grandchildren are spending the night.
Just heat up your waffle iron as usual. Spray the cook surface with non-stick spray, pour a small amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron and close the lid. I purposefully made my waffle iron corn bread small by not pouring too much batter. I wanted thin crispy corn bread. You could make yours full size if you like. I broke the pieces in the creases for serving. No crumbs falling all over the place! You can still break the little triangles into small pieces for those who like to put cornbread right into their bowl of soup.

Do you use an appliance for more than it’s one original purpose? Please tell us about it!

This is a good idea, Shirley! My husband would love it – he loves anything that is waffle-like LOL

This is perfect. I was just thinking about making cornbread tonight and I will give this a try. My waffle iron is already out.
Fabulous! Now maybe I’ll actually break out that old waffle iron 🙂 Thank you for the inspiration!
I never heard of this before – such a smart idea! I know my hubby would love to try this, and we do have a waffle iron.
Alrighty! It’s great to be able to use a small kitchen appliance for more than one thing! I think y’all will really enjoy your cornbread cooked in the waffle iron.
Dang! I hate I donated my waffle iron one day when I was on a spring cleaning spree! 🙂 My husband would love this because he doesn’t like thick cornbread. I usually make him hoecakes on top of the stove, but this looks amazing!
Alli, my waffle iron isn’t used twice a year. We like thin cornbread too. The cornbread has a nice flavor cooked in the waffle iron, don’t know why but it does! It’s really tasty!
