Makes: 8 Side dish portions
Ingredients
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, and spray a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and butter.
  4. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing together just until combined into a batter.
  5. Spread the batter in the prepared baking dish, and smooth out the top.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top has lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. For 100 calorie portions, slice into 16 sections by cutting 4 rows by 4 rows.

HELPFUL TIP: When preparing a quick-bread such as this (as well as biscuits and muffins), it is always best to lightly mix the batter, as overdoing it can make the final bread more dense. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly alright!
