Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted) or neutral oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten. Add the milk, honey, and melted butter (or oil). Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 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 pan for about 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
