I Hate to Get Corny…

But I am in love with this corn bread I made yesterday as an experiment.  Usually you don’t experiment with recipes when you have guests coming over for dinner, but I had faith that it would at least be edible and simply hoped it wouldn’t taste like a stale brick.

Modified greatly from this recipe, this corn bread has only natural and healthy ingredients and tastes like a grainy kiss on your lips.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour, King Arthur brand – 400 calories, 2 g fat, 12 g fiber, 16 g protein
  • 1 cup 100% whole grain cornmeal, Bob’s Red Mill brand (medium grind)* – 440 calories, 4 g fat, 20 g fiber, 8 g protein
  • 1 6-oz container Fage plain nonfat Greek yogurt – 90 calories, 0 g fat, 0 g fiber, 15 g protein
  • ¼ cup Trader Joe’s French Village nonfat vanilla yogurt – 32.50 calories, 1 g fat, 0 g fiber, 2 g protein
  • 2 eggs – 109 calories, 7.3 g fat, 0 g fiber, 9.3 g protein
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup honey – 257 calories, 0 g fat, 0 g fiber, 0 g protein

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients – best if you beat the eggs separately then add.
  • Pour into an 11×8 pan that’s been “greased” with Pam cooking spray.
  • Check in 15-20 minutes.

How simple is this recipe?!

If you were to eat the entire pan of corn bread, and it’s tempting until you see this, it would be: 1328.50 calories, 14.3 g of fat, 32 g fiber, 50.3 g protein

12 servings. Nutritional information per serving: 110.70 calories, 1.19 g fat, 2.67 g fiber, 4.19 g protein

Of course my boyfriend insisted on eating it with queso fresco, and his friend with butter sandwiched between it.  But, hey, they do what they gotta do and I do what I gotta do, right?  :)

Bye guys!

*This was hard for me to find in regular grocery stores.  So you might want to bank on getting it at a health food store.

Seriously, it actually tastes really good? ‘Cause that’s the healthiest version of cornbread I think I’ve ever seen. Very tempting to try it.

I’m a big fan of white whole wheat flour too–I wish more bakeries would use it too since I’m often too lazy to bake. It really is pretty close to regular flour in a lot of recipes, but so much healthier!
