Heart Healthy Cornbread image

This recipe comes from the "Wild Wild West Cookbook" I was given by my wonderful friend Tammie in the Bi-Annual Cookbook Swap 2009. Ive adapted it slightly, but will list my changes as options as it would be great otherwise also. This makes for a grainy, only slightly sweet, but super tasty bread, which can be enjoyed either with a savoury meal oron its own spread with butter and jam/honey. This is a very versatile recipe, which can be changed easily to suit the meal youre making. Please feel free to play with it. I could think of adding some vanilla or cinnamon to the batter for a more cakey version or using some chili powder and other spices for a hearty one.

This cornbread is a great way to use up leftover corn. It's also a good source of fiber and protein.

I was looking for a healthier cornbread recipe and this one fit the bill. It's made with whole wheat flour and honey, and it's just as delicious as the traditional kind.

I'm not usually a fan of cornbread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and fluffy, and the honey butter is the perfect finishing touch.
