Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Add the unsweetened almond milk and melted butter to the eggs, whisking continuously to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If you would like a hint of sweetness, stir in the optional honey at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the corn bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve warm as a delightful complement to your meal.
