HEART HEALTHY CORNBREAD



Heart Healthy Cornbread image

This recipe comes from the "Wild Wild West Cookbook" I was given by my wonderful friend Tammie in the Bi-Annual Cookbook Swap 2009. Ive adapted it slightly, but will list my changes as options as it would be great otherwise also. This makes for a grainy, only slightly sweet, but super tasty bread, which can be enjoyed either with a savoury meal oron its own spread with butter and jam/honey. This is a very versatile recipe, which can be changed easily to suit the meal youre making. Please feel free to play with it. I could think of adding some vanilla or cinnamon to the batter for a more cakey version or using some chili powder and other spices for a hearty one.
