Golden Sweet Cornbread



I know I posted a cornbread recipe just a couple months ago, and that recipe is a true winner, but this one is also delicious, AND it's been adjusted to be healthier! My friend has her suggested alterations to make it healthier--I use her oil + applesauce adjustment and use 2 egg whites instead of 1 egg, so it's cholesterol free and lower fat. This cornbread feels like it should be a dessert. Maybe that's weird to say, but it's SO GOOD! I love it with honey. Mmm! =) So try it for a healthier twist on cornbread, and I promise you'll love it!


Golden Sweet Cornbread
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup white sugar (1/4 cup sugar + 1/4 cup stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon + 1 pinch salt
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (skim milk)
  • 1/2 cup canola oil (3 Tbs. oil + 5 Tbs. unsweetened applesauce)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray or lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan or muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt and baking powder. Stir in egg, milk and canola oil until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes for pan, 15 minutes for muffins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
