Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large egg (or egg substitute)
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish or an equivalent baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the almond milk (or low-fat milk), unsweetened applesauce, honey, and the egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cornbread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, cut it into 12 equal pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
