  • Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease 9’ round baking dish (you can use square, but make sure it’s not too large as the cornbread won’t rise enough.)
  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter, applesauce, and maple syrup.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just enough to combine.
  • Pour into the prepared dish.
  • Bake 25 minutes until lightly golden or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful to not over bake.
