Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup carrots, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the grated carrots gently until evenly incorporated into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own with a drizzle of honey or butter.
