LOW FAT, SUGAR FREE CORNBREAD

Low Fat, Sugar Free Cornbread image

This is a low cal modification of my mom's cornbread recipe. Using Splenda instead of sugar and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Lite" instead of butter or oil, makes a big difference in calories but not in taste. I just made some to serve with chili and it was great!

SUGAR-FREE CORNBREAD

Sugar-Free Cornbread image

I had to experiment a lot to get this perfect, fluffy, and wholesome cornbread recipe, but I finally came up with one I like! Not only is it delicious, but it's gluten-free and uses Splenda® instead of sugar. If you'd like to use natural sugar instead, it will work just fine. A little bit of polenta gives it a really nice corn flavour on top of the cornmeal. The almond meal lowers the carb count, too! Enjoy! Cover with foil for the last 7 minutes of cooking time to avoid over-browning the top!

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup granular sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 ⅔ cups milk
3 eggs
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup almond meal
1 cup cornmeal
⅓ cup quinoa flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 27 minutes.

Tips:

To achieve the best texture, use a combination of cornmeal and all-purpose flour. The cornmeal provides a coarse, crumbly texture, while the all-purpose flour helps to bind the ingredients together and create a more tender crumb.
Make sure to use baking powder that is fresh and active. Old baking powder will not produce enough lift, resulting in a dense and heavy cornbread.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and chewy cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
To prevent the cornbread from sticking to the pan, grease the pan liberally with butter or cooking spray.
Bake the cornbread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
Let the cornbread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
