Recipe: Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup nonfat milk
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
- ½ cup (2 oz.) 2% cheddar cheese, shredded
Nutrition Note:
Low-carb cornbread made without butter? Neat, right? The almond flour allows for a rich piece of cornbread with none of the guilt.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375° F. Mist a 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, oil, and milk.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry until mixed well and no dry spots remain. Fold in the jalapeños and cheese.
Transfer batter to the pan and bake for 24–26 minutes or just beginning to brown around the edges.
Yield: 16 squares
