Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped and steamed
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, steamed and chopped broccoli, and diced onion. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
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 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade broccoli cornbread!
