I am usually a "Jiffy Cornbread Mix" kind of girl, but I am trying to broaden by baking horizons so here goes my version of cornbread made from scratch. Two tries later, I finally came up with a very moist, flavorful cornbread with a little spicy kick that I was proud to serve my family and friends.
Note: Throwback Thursday is a new series where I take some of my original posts here on Curry and Comfort and redo them so I can take better photos.

Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup grated zucchini
2 eggs
1/2 large onion grated or finely chopped
1/4 cup canola oil
2-3 jalapeno chilies diced small
Mix all ingredients well.
Dry Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 Tbs sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs red chili flakes (or to taste)
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or mix of Mexican cheeses
Mix well and add to wet ingredients. Do not over mix the batter.
Directions:
Pour batter into buttered or sprayed baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until fork comes out clean.


I also sprinkled a handful of cheese over the bread a few minutes before I turned off the oven to get a melted cheese topping. Enjoy.

I've never put zucchini in cornbread before. What a creative idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Do you think it would work just with corn flour? I have the south American stuff. I'm gluten-free this month and seriously missing some sort of bread to mop up my curries & stews!! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Happywhennothungry. I hope you like it. It makes a very moist cornbread. : )
ReplyDeleteFoodblogandthedog- You can try just using all cornmeal. The texture maybe a little heavier, I'm not sure. But if you are craving some kind of bread....it will still taste good. Hope it comes out for you. : )
ReplyDeleteThat looks simple and really tasty and maybe kinda good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty tasty. I have only made cornbread with a pre-made mix before so I was happy to add all natural ingredients so I knew just what I was eating. Thanks for stopping by and hope you try it. : )
ReplyDeleteOh that has to be good! I love zucchini, and I think it's a great idea to include it in cornbread!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diethood. Next I am going to try it with whole wheat flour instead of the all purpose. Maybe it will make it even more healthy. : )
ReplyDeleteI tired with whole wheat and loved it! Used olive oil and only 1 tbs of sugar and it was great!
