Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease an 8" square pan.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of the cornbread comes out clean and the top looks golden brown.
Notes
Serving Suggestions
- Diced jalapenos or habaneros. (Be careful, this can get a lot hotter than you think it will).
- Crumbled pre-cooked breakfast sausage.
- Sage, thyme, and dried cranberries. This makes more of a cornbread dressing that can be served alongside turkey or lamb.
- Pecans and a touch of maple syrup. You can also add this as a topping at the end.
- Vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel or maple syrup and bourbon reduction as a dessert.
- Spicy cornbread dessert. It may sound strange but try the ice cream option over the jalapeno cornbread. You will never see dessert in the same way again.
- Pour vegetarian chili or meat chili over the top.
- Drizzle honey and hot sauce over the top of a slice and serve along side fried chicken.
- For a fun breakfast, serve with butter on top along side two sunny side up eggs.
