Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, honey, egg whites, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cornbread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
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.
Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your low-fat classic cornbread as a side dish or a snack!
