Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 large Egg whites
- Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with olive oil cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, honey, skim milk, and egg whites until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until fully incorporated. Do not overmix, as this could make the cornbread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing into 8 equal pieces.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
