Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and melted butter until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 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 dish for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve. Enjoy plain, with a drizzle of honey, or alongside your favorite soup or chili!
