Reduced Fat Moist Sweet Cornbread Recipes

EXCELLENT AND HEALTHY CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, soda and salt. Stir in yogurt and eggs. Do not over mix, stir only until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until center of the bread springs back when gently pressed.

EASY MOIST CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Position your oven rack in the center of the oven and place a well seasoned 10" or 12" cast iron skillet inside. Preheat your oven to 450F (232C). This will preheat your skillet to help achieve a very crispy bottom to your cornbread. Alternatively, if you do not have a cast iron skillet you may use a 9" round or square metal or glass baking dish for this recipe, but you should not preheat them in the oven.
• Meanwhile, melt your butter. Once completely melted, divide out about 2 TBSP. This will be used to grease your skillet. The rest of the butter will go into the cornbread. Set both aside to cool slightly.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until combined.
• Add in your buttermilk, eggs, and the larger amount of melted butter and stir until everything is just incorporated. You don't want to over-mix.
• Carefully remove the hot cast iron skillet from the oven. Add the 2 TBSP butter you divided out to the pan and swirl around until the bottom is coated. Pour your cornbread batter into the skillet and immediately place skillet back into the hot oven. If you are using a baking dish instead of a cast iron skillet, coat it with the reserved melted butter.
• Cook at 450F (232C) for about 20 minutes or until a tester comes out with moist crumb from the center. If you want a crispier top, put it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching it very closely.
• As an optional extra step in increase the moistness of this cornbread, run a stick of butter over the top of the bread while it is still hot. The butter will melt down into the bread and keep it extra moist and delicious! Use as much as you like of the stick. I just rub it all over until it is well coated.

MOIST & SWEET CORNBREAD

• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Whisk the melted butter, milk, oil, and eggs together in a large liquid measuring cup.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and stir together until combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until fluffy and slightly golden around the edges (a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cornbread should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs).
• Cool for about 20 minutes, then cut into slices and serve.

REDUCED FAT MOIST SWEET CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit; grease an 8" square baking pan.
• In food processor bowl fitted with steel blade, beat butter, Neufchatel cheese, and lecithin until fluffy.
• Add the egg whites and beat for about 30 seconds.
• Add barley malt syrup (or honey), splenda, 1/2 cup of the corn kernels, the milk, and the cornstarch; puree these together.
• In medium bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients (masa harina, corn meal, gluten, baking powder, and salt) with a whisk, making sure that everything's incorporated well.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and add the remaining 1/2 cup corn kernels; fold gently to combine; don't go too rough on the batter because you don't want the gluten to develop or the bread will be tough.
• Transfer the mixture to your greased pan, and bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 185 degrees F; I used a probe thermometer so I don't know exactly how long it took; probably about 40 minutes; look for a golden color, and a firm center.
• If you can manage to do so, let stand 15 mins before cutting.
• Additional Chef Notes: The cornstarch and liquid lecithin help bind the ingredients and retain moisture, two roles normally played by fat, some of which has been eliminated in this recipe;"Masa harina" is the corn flour that is used to make delicious authentic corn tortillas-- the flavor is entirely different from wheat-based (for example, all-purpose) flours; This recipe calls for gluten since neither corn flour nor corn meal have gluten in them naturally, the protein in wheat that helps impart structure, and lets your bread rise better; My guess is that if you omit the cornstarch, liquid lecithin, masa harina, and gluten, your bread won't be as moist or flavorful.

FLUFFY JALAPENO CHEDDAR CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9 X 13 inch baking dish and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Dice the jalapenos and shred the cheese. (If you are sensitive to heat, seed the jalapenos before dicing, otherwise leave the seeds in.)
• Set out a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well. Then whisk in the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
• Fold the thawed sweet corn, 2 cups of cheddar cheese, and the diced jalapenos into the batter. Mix well.
• Scoop the batter into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese over the top.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes. The center should no longer jiggle when you shake the pan. (You can insert a toothpick into the center to make sure it's fully baked. If the toothpick comes out dry, remove from the oven.)
