MOOSEWOOD RESTAURANT ALMOST FAT-FREE CORNBREAD
We are trying to cook healthier this year. This cornbread uses cooked pumpkin, squash or sweet potato puree. A 4 oz. or 41/2 oz. jar of baby food (check to make sure it is just puree) works well in this recipe. This gives the cornbread a deep golden color.

FAT FREE CORNBREAD
This is my own variation of a great healthy recipe published by Dr. Dean Ornish. I love this with bean soups. The 7x9 pan fits perfectly in the toaster oven. A jar of applesauce goes bad quickly in my home, so I started buying the 6 packed individuals.

EASY ALMOST FAT FREE CORNBREAD
I wanted cornbread for dinner and was having a hard time finding a good low fat recipe. Many included corn kernels and my family won't eat that in cornbread! I came across this one in a Weight Watchers cookbook, though this recipe was listed in order for you to make it to use in cornbread stuffing. Therefore I was worried that it would not be good to eat on its own. But it was tasty! And it does not have the funny consistency that some fat free baked goods do. It makes 12 servings and each serving is only 2 WW points!

Tips:
- Choose the right type of cornmeal. For a fine-textured cornbread, use finely ground cornmeal. For a more rustic texture, use medium or coarse ground cornmeal.
- Use buttermilk. Buttermilk adds moisture and richness to cornbread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. This will help the cornbread rise and develop a golden brown crust.
- Let the cornbread cool before slicing. This will help the cornbread hold its shape.

This easy almost-fat-free cornbread recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this classic Southern dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a moist, flavorful cornbread that is perfect for any occasion. Try it today!
