Ingredients You’ll Need

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Corn Meal: I like this medium corn meal, I always keep some in my pantry. It’s great for adding texture to pizza crusts (also the secret for keeping them from sticking on a pizza peel!) and breads, and also to make homemade corn bread.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Sodium Free Baking Powder: Regular baking powder is high in sodium – check the labels!  We love this low sodium version, for a healthier swap.  And it still makes the fluffiest baked goods!
  • Milk
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Eggs

How To Make This Recipe

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish, and set aside.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: in a large bowl, add the vegetable oil, milk, corn, and egg. Mix well with a wooden spoon to combine.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: in a medium bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, and sodium free baking powder. With a clean spoon, mix well to combine.
  4. Make the Batter: Take the bowl with your dry ingredients and mix them into the wet. Fold well to make a thick batter. Pour batter into the baking dish.
  5. Bake: Place baking dish in the oven, and bake cornbread for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on top. Test doneness with a toothpick: place toothpick in the center of the cornbread, when the cornbread is fully cooked the toothpick should come out clean.

    Delicious and tender. This is my second time making your recipe. The first time was as it was written and it was excellent. This time I had to make some substitutions because of my low pantry. I used apple sauce instead of oil, granulated maple sugar instead of white sugar, and unsweetened almond milk (due to dairy intolerance). I also added about an ounce of minced fresh jalapeños. It still came out brilliant. Thank you for a very tasty and flexible recipe.

    1. Hi Kathleen,
      AMAZING substitutions, those sound so good (especially the jalapeno, yum)! Thank you so much for letting me and others know what worked in the recipe. So glad you enjoyed it, and I really appreciate the rating and review 🙂
      Thanks, Kelly
