Instructions

  1. Prepare a 7x3-inch push or springform pan with nonstick spray.

  2. In a large bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt; mix thoroughly.

  3. Whisk eggs and buttermilk in a separate bowl.

  4. Add the egg-buttermilk mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened, then fold in green onions, cheese, and corn if using.

  5. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the Instant Pot. Spread batter in the prepared pan, cover tightly with foil, and place it on the trivet inside the pot.

  6. Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow 10 minutes natural pressure release, then quick release any remaining pressure.

  7. Transfer cornbread to a rack, remove foil, and cool for 10 minutes before removing the pan sides, slicing, and serving.
