Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 0 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, unsweetened applesauce, honey, and the egg until smooth.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the cornbread dense.
Step 6
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
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 from the oven and allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Step 9
Cut into 9 pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
