Ingredients

1 1/2 cup corn meal (ground, organic)
1/2 cup flour (organic all purpose, or gluten free if needed)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat)
2 eggs (large, organic)
1/4 cup olive oil (organic, extra virgin)
1/3 cup honey (organic)
2 jalapenos (Dice one of them and slice the other.)
1 cup cheddar cheese (freshly grated)

Instructions

1
Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using a glass baking dish, line an 11x7 dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cornbread from sticking. You can also line a muffin tin with paper liners if you're making cornbread muffins.
2
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed and ready for the wet ingredients.
3
Add the wet ingredients: Add in the Greek yogurt, eggs, and olive oil first. Once combined, stir in the honey. Mix until just smooth—don't overmix!
4
Fold in the good stuff: Gently fold in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese.
5
Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If you're making cornbread muffins, divide the batter among the muffin cups. Scatter the slices of jalapeno among the top of the batter.
6
Bake: Bake the cornbread for 20-25 minutes (or about 15-20 minutes for muffins) or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cornbread; it should come out clean when the cornbread is fully cooked.
7
Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing it into squares or serving it as muffins. This cooling time helps set the texture and prevents the cornbread from falling apart.
