Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Agave nectar
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 units Large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, agave nectar, whole milk, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite spread. Enjoy!
