Broccolified Cornbread

This isn’t your grandma’s cornbread, unless your grandma has been sneaking in a few servings of broccoli on the side! Get ready for a delightful mix of sweet cornbread and nutritious greens that will make your taste buds dance with joy.

Broccolified Cornbread

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar (because life’s too short for bland cornbread)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 cup milk (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil if you’re feeling fancy)
  • 2 large eggs (free-range, if you wanna feel good about yourself)
  • 1 cup finely chopped broccoli (because we’re going healthy here!)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (more cheese equals more happiness)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). We want that oven hot and ready to transform our ingredients into heavenly cornbread.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk it up like you mean it!
  3. In another separate bowl, mix together the milk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until frothy – channel your inner chef!
  4. Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Don’t go overboard – we’re not making a smoothie here.
  5. Add in the chopped broccoli and cheddar cheese. Fold those greens right in – they’re about to take the spotlight!
  6. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish (or whatever dish you have lying around) and pour the batter into it. Spread it evenly, just like your love for cornbread.
  7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The smell will be so enticing that you might dance a little!
  8. Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes. Then slice it up, serve, and watch everyone’s face light up. Broccoli in cornbread? Who knew that could be a thing!

Enjoy your Broccolified Cornbread, and remember – one bite at a time, we’re making veggies cool again!
