We really liked this, and so easy to put together. I like the fact that it uses yogurt, and may never make cornbread another way. The texture is perfect, and I put it into a 9 inch cake pan, the perfect size, as my square pan was already full of cherry cobbler. A real keeper, and so simple and inexpensive to do!

Best low fat cornbread yet! I also used less than 1/2 whole wheat flour, and 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce in place of part of the yogurt. You'd never know it was low fat.

I made mini corn muffins. Great, moist low-fat and simple. I replaced the sugar with agave nectar and the sweetness was just right!
