Recently, I made my own Homemade Hot Honey, particularly to make the viral Hot Honey Beef Bowls. While thinking of additional uses for the hot honey, I came up with this hot honey Cornbread. I've made both Cheesy Protein Cornbread and Vegan Cajun Cornbread before, which you should also check out. This version though is both sweet and mildly spicy, and uses just a few ingredients and contains minimal calories.

DRY
- 1 cup (120 g) Cornmeal
- 1 cup (120 g) Whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp (10 g) Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt

WET
- 5 tbsp (100 g) Hot honey
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/4 cup (300 g) Water

1. Preheat your oven to 400F, and line a 9" square pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray with oil

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl - cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. To make it gluten free, you can use oat flour or almond flour in place of whole wheat flour

3. Add in the wet ingredients - hot honey, apple cider vinegar, and water. Whisk until smooth. If you don't have hot honey, you can replace it with regular honey, and add 1 tsp (2 g) red pepper flakes

4. Pour the batter into your pan, and shake bake and forth to make sure it's even and goes to all sides

5. Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes, or until lightly browned, and a toothpick comes out nearly clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

6. When completely cooled, cut into 16 slices. Store in the fridge for a week, or the freezer indefinitely
