Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cranberries and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
