Beet Cornbread Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated beets (about 2 medium beets)
1 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the grated beets.
Whisk together the milk, oil, and egg in a separate mixing bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite topping.

This beet cornbread recipe is a great way to add some color and flavor to your traditional cornbread. The beets add a subtle sweetness and earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with the slightly sweet and crumbly cornbread.

This recipe can also be adapted to be gluten-free or vegan by using gluten-free flour or flax egg instead of a regular egg.

You can also add chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley to the batter to give it an extra flavor.
