Gather ingredients for the cornbread.

Measure about 1.5 to 2 cups of cornmeal and set aside.

Add a handful of oatmeal to the cornmeal and discard any excess.

Add 1 spoonful of minced garlic to the mixture for flavor.

Add about 1/3 cup of drained canned corn to the mixture.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add about 1/4 cup of oil to the mixture, being light on the amount due to other ingredients.

Pour in skim milk gradually until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) with a cast iron skillet inside, greased with oil.

Combine all the ingredients until well mixed, adjusting milk as needed.

Pour half of the batter into the preheated cast iron skillet.

Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, turning it over halfway through (around 6 minutes).

Remove from the oven and check for doneness.
