SKINNY JALEPENO CORNBREAD



SKINNY JALEPENO CORNBREAD image

Categories     Corn

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix
1 large egg
1 14.5 oz can Cream Style Sweet Corn (green giant)
1 6oz container of Chobani 0% vanilla yogurt
1 large Jalapeno Pepper (diced)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking pan with cooking spray. Mix all the wet ingredients above (egg, corn and yogurt) and then add the cornbread mix. Combine until moistened and transfer into baking dish. Bake until golden brown about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor. Frozen or canned corn can be used in a pinch, but fresh corn will give your cornbread a sweeter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. This will help the cornbread rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Serve the cornbread with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include honey, butter, chili, or cheese.
