Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, honey, egg, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
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 7
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
