HEALTHY, HEARTY WHOLE WHEAT CORNBREAD



Healthy, Hearty Whole Wheat Cornbread image

This recipe is based on a recipe I found on the back of the Quaker Yellow Corn Meal container. I modified it to use whole wheat flour, no oil, and no sugar, so that it's healthier. Plus, this turns out a bit "heavier" than normal cornbread; it has a nice crunchy crust but a moist and chewy center. You can use 2 egg whites or 1 whole egg (beaten) instead of the Egg Beaters egg substitute, if you prefer.

Time 30m

Yield 9-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
6 (1 g) packets Sweet 'n Low
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Grease an 8 or 9-inch pan (I use a loaf pan).
  • Combine the dry ingredients (flour, corn meal, Sweet& Low, baking powder, and salt).
  • Stir in the milk, vanilla, applesauce and Egg Beaters (or the egg); mix well.
  • The batter will appear "grainy".
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (mine typically bakes for 23 minutes).
  • Remove the loaf from the pan and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm topped with a touch of honey, or calorie-free spray butter--or try spreading a thin layer of unsweetened applesauce on a slice for a slightly sweet and very tasty treat!

WHOLE WHEAT CORNBREAD

We recently started a 21 day Daniel fast. I was unable to find a recipe for a Daniel fast friendly cornbread to eat with my meal or to use for a filler or breadcrumbs that did not have sugar or dairy. The cornbread is good to eat hot with beans or soup, or use to make stuffing or bread veggies.

Provided by Chef Jean

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 12 muffins/pieces, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until smooth.
  • Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.
  • Use an 8x8 square pan or 12 muffin tins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a medium-grind cornmeal for a coarse, crumbly texture, or a fine-grind cornmeal for a smooth,细腻的 texture.
  • Use fresh baking powder: Baking powder is a raising agent that helps the cornbread rise. Make sure to use fresh baking powder to ensure that it is effective.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cornbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking the cornbread. This helps to ensure that the cornbread cooks evenly.
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cornbread is cooked through.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving: This allows the cornbread to set and makes it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and it can be made with a variety of different ingredients to suit your taste. Whether you like it plain or with added ingredients like cheese, bacon, or jalapeños, whole wheat cornbread is sure to be a hit.
