Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup Skim milk
• 2 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, skim milk, egg whites, and honey until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense cornbread.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack. It pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or a drizzle of honey.
