Creole Cornbread Recipe

buttermilk

🥗Healthier: low-fat yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Low-fat yogurt reduces calories while maintaining tanginess.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: bell peppers

💰Cheaper: banana peppers

Bell peppers offer sweetness without heat.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still providing flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Chop jalapeños and set aside.

In a bowl, combine cornmeal, salt, baking soda, jalapeños, and diced red onion.

In another bowl, beat 2 room temperature eggs, then add whole milk and canola oil, mixing until combined.

Stir in cream style corn into the egg mixture.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the batter.

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter and dust with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread it evenly.
