Heart Healthy Cornbread

People talking
This recipe comes from the "Wild Wild West Cookbook" I was given by my wonderful friend Tammie in the Bi-Annual Cookbook Swap 2009. Ive adapted it slightly, but will list my changes as options as it would be great otherwise also. This makes for a grainy, only slightly sweet, but super tasty bread, which can be enjoyed either with a savoury meal oron its own spread with butter and jam/honey. This is a very versatile recipe, which can be changed easily to suit the meal youre making. Please feel free to play with it. I could think of adding some vanilla or cinnamon to the batter for a more cakey version or using some chili powder and other spices for a hearty one.

I love reading and making healthy recipes, but I wish anything that is listed as healthy would have the stats included. My husband has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and has specific requirements on what he can eat, and stats would be so helpful!

This one came out very bland for me. It was okay as long as jam or butter was spread on it, but alone we found it hard to eat. Maybe next time I'll add some salt. I know it wouldn't be as heart healthy then, but maybe it would give it more flavor.

This was super easy to throw together. The recipe was cut in half and I only added a little bit of sugar (1/2 T.) My main was chili with squash and so no more sugar was needed in the cornbread. I wanted to substitute part whole wheat for unbleached white but forgot! Next time! The bread was crumbly- however not dry and a high riser. Baked in a pre-heated 8"cast iron skilletWe all loved it! PS It does help having those ingredients listed in order! Reviewed for Veg Tag/October. -

Nice little recipe. I used half polenta/half corn meal, white whole wheat flour, frozen corn and a whole egg. I made this for my international students because they have been asking me what authentic southern food is. I don't usually love cornbread, especially because of all the oil, but this was good. It was a little under-spiced for my tastes, but they have done nothing but complain about how salty and sweet American food is, so they loved it!
