🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.

5. Gently fold in the cranberries and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
