Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Recipe Without Eggs

To make this corn bread more flavorful and spicy, I added jalapenos and cheddar cheese to the batter. Jalapenos adds a extra zing to the bread. This dish can be made in a jiffy, it just takes 30 minutes to finish. You can serve this bread for breakfast or lunch or dinner with soups or spicy dishes like vegetarian bean chilli. I will be posting my bean chilli recipe in my next post.


      Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups of Milk
• 1.5 Tbsp of Distilled White Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 Cup of Cornmeal , I used corn flour
• 1 Cup of All Purpose Flour
• 3 Tbsp of White Sugar
• 1/2 Tsp of Salt
• 1 Tsp of Baking Powder
• 1 Tsp of Baking Soda
• 2 Tbsp of Canola Oil
• 2 Jalapeno’s, Chopped
• 3 Tbsp of Cheddar Cheese

    Method

• Preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Lightly oil a 9 *9 inch baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, and set aside.
• Mix the corn flour, all purpose flour, sugar, salt, oil, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Finally add the milk and vinegar mixture. Stir well with a whisk.
• Pour the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until the top is golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Hot jalapeno corn bread is ready to serve with bean chilli

    Tips

• You can serve it for breakfast with soups or spicy dish like chilli.
• The recipe calls for cornmeal, but I used corn flour.
• Both are ground corn. Difference is cornflour is usually ground to a fine texture than cornmeal.
• Add frozen corns to the batter, for crunchiness.
• If you don’t get jalapenos in your place, replace it with any chilly.
• If you don’t want jalapeno and cheese, just skip it and make a plain corn bread.
• If you want vegan version, just replace milk with non diary milk such as soy or almond milk.
