Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the crushed pineapple (with its juice), milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 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 let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness, if desired.
