Ingredients

  • 3 jalapeño peppers
  • ½ small yellow onion
  • 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs (or ½ cup egg substitute)

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop jalapeños (removing seeds and membranes if desired) and onion finely; shred cheese (1 cup). Coat 9–inch square baking dish with spray.

    3. Combine in large bowl: cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder; stir until blended. Beat eggs in separate bowl; add cheese and stir until blended. Add buttermilk mixture to egg mixture; whisk until blended, then add to cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
    4. Pour batter into prepared dish; bake 30–35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Slice and serve.
