Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole grain cornmeal
- 0.75 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole grain cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
