Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk
• 0.25 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 unit large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature with additional maple syrup or butter, if desired.
