Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If making muffins, line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray. If making cornbread, lightly spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, egg, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix as this will make the texture dense.
For muffins, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin. For cornbread, pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins or cornbread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Enjoy your cornbread or muffins as a delicious side dish or snack!
