Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with additional maple syrup or butter, if desired.
