Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the buttermilk and melted butter.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 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 about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
