Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray an 8x8-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan with cooking spray. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the corn bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 8 equal pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy! This corn bread pairs well with soups, stews, or as a light snack on its own.
