Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Popcorn (unpopped kernels)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/3 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Pop the popcorn kernels. You should end up with approximately 7-8 cups of popped popcorn. Let it cool slightly, then pulse it in a food processor until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Measure out 2 cups of ground popcorn for the recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground popcorn, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade popcorn bread with butter, honey, or your favorite spreads!
