Ingredients

  • 14 tablespoon low-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup frozen corn kernels thawed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine milk and vinegar. Let sit for 3-5 minutes. It will slightly curdle (this is ok!).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine brown sugar, corn and milk mixture. Process JUST until combined (we still want some whole pieces of corn!). Add eggs and process again for a few seconds (we still want some corn chunks!).
  • Add the blended corn mixture to bowl with dry ingredients. Fold just until combined. Add butter and continue to fold just until combined.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes until toothpick inserted into center of cornbread comes out clean. Let cool. Enjoy!
