Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for greasing pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a teaspoon of olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and egg until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your warm, low-fat, sugar-free cornbread as a healthy side dish or snack!
