Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F. Then, spray an air fryer baking pan with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornbread mix, egg, and milk. Mix it until the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the batter into the baking pan, place the pan in the air fryer, then air fry for about 12 minutes.
Open the air fryer and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Continue air frying for another 4-5 minutes until the cornbread is cooked all the way through. It will cook a total time of about 16 to 17 minutes.

Spray the air fryer pan with cooking spray. This makes it way easier to get out of the pan after baking.
Preheat the air fryer before adding the cornbread.
Stir the batter until just mixed. Over-mixing will cause the batter to become dense.
Cover the cornbread with tinfoil after 12 minutes of cooking.
Check the corn bread using a toothpick. When it comes out clean, it's done.
Let the cornbread rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven.
Store leftovers in an airtight container. It will keep on the counter for 1-2 days, refrigerator for about a week, and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
