Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk (unsweetened almond milk or regular)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: polenta, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well-blended.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, olive oil, eggs, milk, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and consistent.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as a side dish or enjoy slices as a snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
