Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs (large)
• 1 cup canned corn kernels (drained)
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups chopped green onions
• 1 jalapeño (seeded and chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and optional jalapeño (if using) until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread is perfect on its own or paired with soups, chili, or as a savory snack.
