Ingredients

    1 package cornbread mix
    2 tablespoons canola oil
    1 egg, beaten
    3/4 cup skim milk
    1 cup frozen corn
    1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, chopped

    Chipotle-Honey Butter
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
    1 tablespoon honey
    1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, chopped


Tips

Turn this into a quick dinner by stirring a can of drained and rinsed black beans and 1/2 cup shredded low-fat sharp cheddar into the batter.

Use the remaining Green Giant® Honey Roasted Sweet Corn for a quick dinner tomorrow: Saute lean chicken breast, then top with your favorite salsa and Green Giant® Honey Roasted Sweet Corn. Serve with brown rice.


Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together the cornbread mix, oil, egg, milk, frozen corn, and jalapenos in a medium bowl, just until combined.
Coat a 9x9" baking dish with nonstick spray, then pour the batter into the dish.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
While the cornbread is baking, prepare the Chipotle-Honey Butter.
Place the butter, honey, and chipotle into a mini food processor or small bowl. Pulse to combine or mash together using the back of a fork. Transfer to a small bowl or ramekin and freeze until the cornbread is ready.
Allow the cornbread to cool for five minutes, then slice into 12 squares. Top each piece of cornbread with 1 1/2 teaspoons Chipotle-Honey Butter.

Serving Size: Makes 12 servings. 1 square cornbread with 1 1/2 teaspoons butter

    The butter/margarine adds a lot of unnecessary fat/calories/other unhealthiness to this otherwise yummy-looking recipe. Substitutions? I'm thinking something like pureed squash for a similar texture, then add the honey and chipotle? Ideas? - 2/12/13

    I would be trying this recipe, but I need to know what size of cornbread mix to purchase. I am thinking of Jiffy, which makes a small amount of cornbread, or another brand that makes a large amount. So I'd like to know more before trying this. - 2/12/13

    From the editor: The sizes will vary; you'll need one box of whichever brand you choose, enough to yield one loaf. Last time I checked, Jiffy cornbread does contain lard, as an fyi. :) Since you're preparing the basic batter, then adding other ingredients, the exact size do - 1/23/13
