Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with additional maple syrup or butter, if desired.
