How to Make Low Fat Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup low-fat buttermilk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup water.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. The batter will be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is light golden brown.
  7. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm!
