Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 unit Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Fresh or dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold in the cranberries and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer with 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 let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the cranberry nut cornbread into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
