SKINNY JALEPENO CORNBREAD

Categories Corn

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 box Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix
1 large egg
1 14.5 oz can Cream Style Sweet Corn (green giant)
1 6oz container of Chobani 0% vanilla yogurt
1 large Jalapeno Pepper (diced)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking pan with cooking spray. Mix all the wet ingredients above (egg, corn and yogurt) and then add the cornbread mix. Combine until moistened and transfer into baking dish. Bake until golden brown about 40 minutes.

Tips:

Use buttermilk or yogurt: Buttermilk or yogurt adds moisture and tanginess to the 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.
Use fresh cornmeal: Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cornmeal, you can use stone-ground cornmeal, which is a good substitute.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cornbread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and brown properly. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before baking the cornbread.
Let the cornbread cool before serving: Let the cornbread cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the cornbread set and make it easier to slice.
