- Ready In:
- 16mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil (I always use peanut oil, which is excellent, but another type of oil may be used.)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sugar (this is how I make the bread, making it not sweet, for a bit sweeter bread add an extra 1-2 tbsp)
- 1 egg
- 3⁄4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3⁄4 cup cornmeal
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
directions
- Combine all ingredients until just mixed.
- Pour into a sprayed (greased) microwavable ring pan or microwavable dish with a glass in the centre.
- Place pan or dish on a upsidedown saucer in microwave.
- Let stand 5 minutes in microwave.
- Then, for a 1200watt microwave, cook on HIGH for 3 minutes until dry on top (when touched finger comes off clean).
- NOTE: cooking time depends on the wattage of the microwave -in our old microwave, which was 500watts I microwaved on HIGH 6 minutes.
- Serve right away for a fresh, warm cornbread.
- Excellent plain, with garlic butter, or even peanut butter!
- Serves 8 with 8 good sized wedges.

Like eating raw flour paste. Our traditional oven has been on the blink so I was searching for ways to compensate with the microwave. This was not the only microwave cornbread recipe I tried, but they all came out the same. Totally inedible! I can't believe anyone eats this stuff. -
Not bad at all for a microwave recipe! I would just add a bit of salt, then I think they would be perfect. They taste pretty healthy without salt, but my 6 yr old had seconds, so I can't complain. Also, I made them with peach and strawberry yogurt because that is what I had on hand. It worked fine and made me think adding a handfull of dried fruit would probably be really yummy! -
this tasted very good, however it didn't behave very well in my microwave... It might be because my microwave is very powerful, but the bread turned out harder and more dense then I am used to. But i love cornbread, so it didn't bother me too much! -
Thank you for posting this recipe for us to try. I made this for us for breadfast. Took no time to make. Will be making these again for us.

The best cornbread I've ever made in 10 minutes from start to finish - thanks for saving my chili after I realized I didn't have any rice!

Hi!
Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to.
I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption.
I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga.
I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.

The photo below of our two new family additions. Layla (the calico) came home with us from the Humane Society in September and Saxon (black and white) came home two months later as a companion for Layla. Gladly they have become very good pals.
