Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped and steamed

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, steamed and chopped broccoli, and diced onion. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cornbread cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before slicing into squares.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade broccoli cornbread!
