Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x9 inch pan or 9 inch skillet or 9 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: eggs, maple syrup/honey, yogurt and milk. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir with a spoon until it just begins to combine, then stir in the melted butter until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Serve warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey!

Notes

  • To make these dairy free: use a dairy free milk, dairy free yogurt and vegan butter instead of regular butter.
  • To make gluten free cornbread: feel free to make this with oat flour or a gluten free all purpose flour. 
  • To make cornbread muffins: divide between 12 greased muffin liners in a muffin pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tester comes out clean.
  • If you want these to be less sweet, I suggest reducing the honey or pure maple syrup to 1/3 cup total.
