Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 12 squares

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups stone-ground whole-grain cornmeal
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain soy yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup rice milk, or more as needed
1 small fresh hot chili, seeded and minced, or one 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

    Step 2

    Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.

    Step 3

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yogurt, oil, and rice milk. Stir until well combined, adding more rice milk as needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter.

    Step 4

    Stir in the chili and corn kernels. Pour the mixture into an oiled 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center tests clean. Let cool slightly; cut into squares and serve warm.
