Fitness Version of Cornbread
For those looking for a lighter and healthier version of cornbread, the good news is that you can adapt the recipe without losing the incredible flavor! Swap the refined sugar for honey or brown sugar and use coconut milk or plant-based milk instead of regular milk. Instead of margarine, try olive oil, which will make the cornbread lighter and more nutritious.
You can also add chia or flax seeds to the dough, which will provide more fiber and omega-3, as well as ensuring an even more interesting texture. If the focus is on maintaining a healthy diet, these substitutions are ideal to ensure that your cornbread is delicious and nutritious!
