Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup carrots, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or cast-iron skillet and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots gently until evenly incorporated into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own with a drizzle of honey or butter.
