🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• Honey (optional, for drizzling)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are well combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in tough cornbread.

5. Fold the diced strawberries gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean.

8. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, drizzle with honey before serving for added sweetness.
