Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with a teaspoon of olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and egg until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your warm, low-fat, sugar-free cornbread as a healthy side dish or snack!
