Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted) or neutral oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs until beaten. Add the milk, honey, and melted butter (or oil). Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 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 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy plain, or with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
