Ingredients
1/2 c whole wheat flour1/2 c corn meal1/8 c sugar2 t baking powder1/2 t salt1 T honey1 lg egg1/2 c milk (I use 2%)1/8 canola oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Add oil to a loaf or pie pan. Place in heated oven while you prepare the bread or about 10 minutes.
Combine the dry ingredients. Mix until homogenous. Add egg and honey and stir. Finally add the milk, maybe not quite 1/2 cup but enough to make like a slightly runny batter.
Remove pan from the oven and add about 1/2 of the hot oil to the batter. It should be hot enough to sizzle and almost make a crust on the top. Stir batter to incorporate the oil then add mixture to prepared pan. The remaining hot oil makes the edges curl and gives you a nice crispy edge.
Bake in the hot oven for about 15 minutes or the center springs back. (because of the wheat it will be kinda dark)

    Thank you so much! I was scared to share it. I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

    This is so good! I made with white flour and subbed unsweetened applesauce and issued the MAKEOVER so I could calculate correctly - saved 25 calories. Thank you for a great recipe! Who knew cornbread at less than 100 calories per slice? :) - 9/23/14

    This is a little different, because it is not very yellow, but it taste the same to me! I enjoyed it thoroughly. - 3/24/14

    made a few small baking swaps so maybe thats why it took a little longer than 15 in a loaf pan, quite good though - 9/11/13

    I'm going to try this tonight with a Baked Chili with Cornbread Crust casserole. I'm also going to substitute applesauce for oil and use skim milk. - 1/29/12

    I have been looking for a really good cornbread recipes for what seems like ages. I have finally found it. Cornbread is typically dry and while this isn't melt in your mouth moist it moist. It is also perfectly sweet. I did exchange the sugar for Truvia. - 5/30/11

    Very good-I used fat free milk b/c that's what I had and a bit more honey because we like sweet cornbread. This is my new go to recipe for cornbread. - 4/5/11

    Great recipe...very flavorful! I took the cornbread to a friend's house and my friends loved it so much they wanted the recipe for themselves. - 10/20/10

    You mention egg in the directions but not in the ingredient list. I am assuming it is 1 egg? - 10/4/10

    My DH was born and raised in the south, and therefore a cornbread aficionado. This one easily passed the test. Delicious! Glad we can still have our cornbread. - 9/17/10
