You'll love this warm and tasty addition to any soup, stew, or Mexican dish.
Most families have their own version of this delicious cornbread featuring chiles of some sort, cheese, and corn. Our SkinnyMs. Cheesy Mexican Cornbread uses whole wheat flour and low-fat cheese to slim it up a bit. But, of course, we still have those delicious chiles and corn! We also used just a scant amount of coconut sugar for a hint of sweetness.
We recommend cooking cornbread in a cast iron skillet, as is tradition, but a cake pan would work just fine as well. Serve this warm and slathered with butter for the best flavor alongside a pot of Chili or Chicken Enchilada Soup.
Cheesy Mexican Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg slightly beaten

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together the egg, milk, and butter in another bowl. When everything is well-combined, pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in the chiles, corn, onion, and cheese. Mix just until combined.
