Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the cornbread tough.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top for a decorative touch.
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 (melted chocolate is fine).
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm.
Slice into squares or wedges and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Cornbread as a snack or dessert!
