Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal (medium grind)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative)
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs. Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and olive oil, and whisk until fully mixed and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly 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 in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow to cool in the dish for 10 minutes, then slice into squares and serve warm. Pair with soups, salads, or enjoy on its own as a healthy snack.
