Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup skim milk

2 large eggs, room temperature

1/4 cup MUSSELMAN’S® Unsweetened Apple Sauce

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1 Tablespoon honey

1/2 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped green onions, white and green parts

2 seeded and minced jalapeno peppers

green onions for garnish

Directions 

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat an 8 X 8 inch pan with cooking spray. 

In a large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder,  and salt. 

In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine the milk, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, oil and honey. 

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients. Stir by hand until just combined, then let batter rest for 20 minutes. 

Stir in cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, and jalapenos. 

Once the batter has rested, pour it into prepared pan, then smooth the top. Sprinkle a few additional green onions over the top. 

Bake until the top and edges are dry and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 24-29 minutes. 

Let cool, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
