Fluffy Corn Bread

Best Sugar Free Cornbread ever!

Perfect Balance of Moist and Fluffiness!

Taste so good I can eat a whole pan by myself literally :)

Their is only one way to describe the taste of this cornbread its fluffy and moist emm.... sooooo good. I prefer cornbread without sugar so for this recipe I eliminated sugar altogether but don't let the sugar free deceive you this is some of the best cornbread I've ever made. If you do add sugar its best to use Rapunzel sugar because it has some nutrition in it and the nutrition facts back this up.

I recommend buying it in the store though because it usually has Iron in it as well in store bought package. At Vita Cost website it only shows it as having "Vitamin C" which is good for you too but why not have both vitamin c and iron :) it took me ages to find a sugar with nutrition in it. When you look at all the marketing labels on other sugars brands they claim the benefits of vitamins in their sugar but have none to back it up on their nutrition facts label. Rapunzel has earned my respect because they took time to make sure you get some nutritional value out of their sugar rather than just pure sugar going into your body.

Nutrition Information for this recipe will be added later along with the brand names used to make the product! I believe in providing the brand names so you can get the same level of nutrition that I found from making recipe.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon (baking soda organic)
2 cups + 1/4 cup (yogurt plain organic)
2 cups organic cornmeal
2 tsp (Salt; brand "Eden Foods") Never add more salt than this you will regret it! I've tested this and my face cringed :(
4 tbsp (organic sweet cream butter)
2 Eggs (Buy local organic farmers eggs or buy Egg Lands Best Organic eggs)

Utensils:

Iron Skillet preferred because cornbread want stick to surface (you can use a glass pan instead but make sure to buy oven safe wax paper to put under cornbread so it can't stick to pan)
Large Bowl
Spoon (to mix ingredients)
Measurement utensils: (cup, tsp, tbsp)

Instructions:

1.) Pre-heat Oven to 450 degrees F
2.) Add 4 TBSP of butter to glass pan or iron skillet and place in oven to melt butter
3.) Get a bowl and mix together well (salt, baking soda & corn meal)
4.) Then add Yogurt and Eggs and mix all ingredients together until lumps disappear
5.) By now your butter should be melted so take pan out of oven (use mittens so you don't burn yourself!) add your mixed ingredients to pan and mix it well with the butter.
6.) Once oven reachs 450 degrees F place pan in oven and let it cook for about 25 mins or until lightly golden brown on top.
7.) Take corn bread out of oven cut and serve. (use spatula to remove corn bread from pan after cutting it.

As promised I will provide the nutrition for each product brand I used once I have time to do so. However until then enjoy!

My 1st Blog Recipe: Sun April 3rd, 11:22pm

Seasoning Mix:

1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp parsley
1/2 tsp salt

Other Ingredients:

Olive Oil 1tbsp
Ground Chicken (amount depends on how many chicken patties you want)

Can substitute with turkey if you don't like chicken but I think chicken taste better

Reference: (tsp= teaspoon, tbsp= tablespoon)

Utensils Needed:

seasoning bowl or any type of bowl to put your seasonings into
Pan to fry chicken
Spatula to flip chicken
2 plates (one to place chicken on for seasoning and one to place cooked chicken on)

Directions:

Mix seasonings from "seasoning mix" all together in one bowl and stir until it is well mixed (thyme, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and salt).
Make chicken size patties and place on plate
sprinkle seasoning to your liking over chicken on both sides ( I usually add a thin layer... do not go over board as the seasoning mix has a lot of flavor)
Heat pan up on medium heat (let it heat about 3mins) which is about the 3.5 mark on a fire stove. For electric I'm not sure because electric heats faster and hotter.
Add Olive Oil to pan
Add chicken and fry for about 5 to 7mins (Flipping every 60seconds) or until done. ( I usually fry it max 7mins because you get a balance of juice and guaranteed its cooked through.

And that's it your done and guess what? It's healthier than eating regular store bought sausage with heaps of grease!

I will try to get some photos ASAP so you can see how great chicken sausage is and how it can benefit you during your early morning rise.

Brands I used:

Meijers Chicken (MBA Smart Chicken Air Chilled "Grounded")

Nutrition-facts (as of Sun Apr 3rd)

4oz serving
Vitamin A 2%
Calcium 2%
Iron 6%
Vitamin C 6%
Protein 22 grams

For Seasoning I used a combination of brands:

Eden Foods Organic Seasonings, Frontier Seasonings and Simply Organic. The seasoning didn't have a nutrition facts so I can't provide that information. However I do recommend you use Sea Salt from Eden Foods it taste so much better than processed salt.
