Easy, moist, healthy, and delicious, this Slow Cooker Cornbread, is my new go-to cornbread recipe.
Made with a combination of equal parts cornmeal and white whole wheat flour, I don't think I'll make cornbread in the oven again.
It bakes up denser and moister than cornbread made in the oven.
Weight Watchers Friendly Slow Cooker Cornbread
Adapted from Fix-It and Forget-It New Cookbook: 250 New Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes (affiliate link), I made it to go with our remaining slow cooker pumpkin black bean chili.
The recipe says to bake this cornbread directly in a 3-Quart Slow Cooker (affiliate link), but I baked mine in a loaf pan (affiliate link) inside my 6-Quart Oval CrockPot instead.

WW Friendly Slow Cooker Cornbread Recipe
Ingredients
- ¾ cup white whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Ideal slow cooker size: 3-Quart, or bake in a loaf pan placed inside a 6-Quart.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar until well combined.
- In another bowl beat the egg well, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. Stir just until mixed.
- Pour into greased slow cooker (3-Quart). Or if you only have a large slow cooker, pour into a greased baking pan and place the pan inside your slow cooker. (I used a loaf a pan inside my 6-Quart oval slow cooker.)
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 1-½ to 2-½ hours, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet cornbread (except Jiffy muffins HA)... will removing the sugar cause something to happen or not happen when cooking?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Heather,
It should be fine without the sugar.
Happy Crocking!!

Marie Callender's organic cornbread is to die for….I've used this mix for several years and everyone in my family loves it!! Now, it's sort of a tradition for me and the little ones to have weekly baking sessions with MC’s cornbreads and muffins. You should visit their website today http://www.mccornbread.com to purchase your mixes. I’m sure you will enjoy the great taste!
Martha McKinnon
Thanks, Anna! I'll check them out the next time I'm at the store.

Made this today - turned out great! I used the bread pan in my slow cooker and took the full 2.5 hours. Had my first piece, and waiting for it too cool down a bit to give some to my daughter.

Wow This Is great recipe.I love Your Way of making Recipe.I am going to make this recipe for my family now.
Amy D
I've never baked anything in my slow cooker before. I am anxious to try this.
Melissa
What if you only have whole wheat flour and not white whole wheat?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Melissa, Whole wheat flour is heavier than white whole wheat flour so your corn bread will be heavier and denser. - Martha
Allison
We just made this and it seemed a LITTLE dry but otherwise quite good. Used half evaporated milk and half water (cause I did not have regular milk defrosted) and oil instead of butter because I did not have any. Any idea why it might have been a little dry? Would using a water bath in the slow cooker help keep it moist?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Allison, It's very hard to troubleshoot cooking from a distance. I don't think a water bath is the solution. I'd add a bit more milk or possibly a little yogurt to the batter for a moister result. Hope this helps. ~Martha
