Cornbread is a classic comfort food that can be made healthier with a few simple ingredient swaps. It’s perfect as a side for soups, stews, or chili. Below is a recipe that maintains the delicious flavor while providing a more nutritious option.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup of whole-wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder

• 1/4 cup of honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup of olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, and olive oil until smooth.
