I love this corn bread because it’s super moist and sweetened with maple syrup. You can also use this recipe to make muffins or mini-muffins; just watch the cooking time so as to not overcook them. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup skim milk
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup pure maple syrup
Procedure:
- Preheat oven to 375. Cover a 9x9x2 metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds.
- Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Whisk yogurt, milk, eggs, and maple syrup in a large bowl to blend. Add cornmeal mixture and stir until just evenly moistened. Do not over-blend. Transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake until bread is golden and cracked on top and tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool bread completely in pan on rack.
