Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Non-fat plain yogurt
- 0.5 cup Milk (non-fat or 1%)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain yogurt, milk, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to ensure a tender texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Cut into 8 squares and serve. Pair with soups, stews, or enjoy as is!
