Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the honey (or molasses), applesauce, soy milk (or water), and beaten egg (or egg substitute) until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
