When I was a kid, my parents would make cornbread for my siblings and me. We would slather butter and maple syrup over the warm bread—it was delicious. Today I experiment a lot with recipes, just as my grandma and mom did, and that's how my version of their easy cornbread recipe was born! —Kim Moyes, Kenosha, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh chives

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped seeded fresh poblano pepper
