Healthy Corn Cakes
Ingredients:
– 1 cup cornmeal
– 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 egg
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are blended evenly.
2. Add the chopped cilantro and green onions to the dry ingredients, stirring until they are distributed throughout the mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and olive oil until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough corn cakes.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
6. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each corn cake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape.
7. Cook the corn cakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Transfer the cooked corn cakes to a plate and keep warm until ready to serve. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
Serve the Healthy Corn Cakes warm, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped green onions, and a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. These corn cakes are not only delicious but also nutritious, providing a hearty and satisfying start to your day.
