Buckwheat Cornbread – A Healthy Choice for Balanced Blood Sugar
Description
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a deep mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of sea salt, and whisk thoroughly with a fork or a hand whisk until lightly frothy.
-
Pour in the Greek yogurt (or kefir) and the extra virgin olive oil, and stir well until completely smooth and combined.
-
Add the buckwheat flour, whole grain corn flour, and baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Stir the batter thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until a uniform, thick batter forms with no remaining flour pockets.
-
Gently crumble or dice the low-fat fresh white cheese and fold it into the cornbread batter. Stir just enough to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the mix.
-
Lightly brush a small baking pan or a skillet with a touch of olive oil, and dust the bottom with a tiny pinch of corn flour to prevent sticking.
-
Pour the smooth batter evenly into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to level the top, and generously scatter flaxseeds or your favorite ground seeds across the surface.
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Slide the pan onto the middle rack and bake for about 30 minutes. Insert a wooden toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, your cornbread is perfectly baked.
Keep a close eye on it in the final minutes; do not overbake, or the buckwheat will lose its moisture and become crumbly.
