Why Greek Yogurt?
Greek yogurt is the secret ingredient that elevates this corn bread from ordinary to extraordinary. Not only does it add a delightful tanginess to the flavor profile, but it also contributes to the moist and tender texture of the bread. Additionally, Greek yogurt is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, making this corn bread not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. It cuts down so much of the fat and calories in your classic corn bread.
What You Will Need
- 1 1/2 cups organic corn meal
- 1/2 cup organic all purpose flour (use gluten free if needed)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups organic, plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 large, organic eggs
- 1/4 cup organic, extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup organic honey
How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line an 11×7 glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the corn meal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the Greek yogurt, eggs, olive oil, and honey and mix until smooth. Do not over mix the batter.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and no longer jiggly. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
How To Store Leftovers
Store your leftover donut holes in an air tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5. To reheat them, just pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes or so.
Health Benefits
- Whole Grain Goodness: Cornmeal is a good source of fiber and essential nutrients, promoting digestive health and providing long-lasting energy.
- Higher Protein: Thanks to the Greek yogurt and eggs, each slice of this corn bread has 6 grams of protein.
- Heart-Healthy Fats: Olive oil adds a dose of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats to the recipe, supporting cardiovascular health and reducing inflammation in the body.
