If you’re looking for the lightest, fluffiest cornbread ever – this Greek Yogurt cornbread recipe is exactly what you need!

This sweet Greek yogurt cornbread is a fantastic and simple recipe to make ahead. Great for a busy weeknight, for entertaining, or just for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking.

Make Yogurt Cornbread Vegetarian

This vegetarian Sour Cream Cornbread is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and tasty recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.

How Do I Make Cornbread with Yogurt?

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish, and set aside.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: in a large bowl, add the sunflower oil, Greek Yogurt, corn, eggs, and chili flakes. Mix well with a wooden spoon to combine.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: in a medium bowl, add the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a clean spoon, mix well to combine.
  4. Make the Batter: Take the bowl with your dry ingredients and mix them into the wet. Fold well to make a thick batter. Pour batter into the baking dish. Top with extra chili flakes to garnish.
  5. Bake: Place baking dish in the oven, and bake cornbread for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned on top. Test doneness with a toothpick: place toothpick in the center of the cornbread, when the cornbread is fully cooked the toothpick should come out clean.
