This is a very nice cornbread! I used the lower-fat ingredients as specified and added a few more green chilis than called for just because I love the flavor. This had a nice, moist texture and didn't really taste lowfat Thanks for posting this recipe!

    Made this to accomapany Southwest Vegetable Soup and it was really good as low fat cornbread goes. (For the unitiated, it is different.) I used freshly roasted poblano chiles in lieu of the canned stuff and real buttermilk. The cheese in this was hard to really detect and next time I would skip it altogether and maybe add chopped scallions or canned corn instead. I liked that this was more cornmeal than flour as it creates a denser more substantial square which I prefer to the cake-like cornbread. Thanks A!

    We really enjoyed this. We have a similar recipe in my family but I don't make it often because it is less than healthy. This was a perfect fit! Reduced fat cheese and fat free buttermilk worked fine for this recipe. I also added a few extra chiles to the mix, which really gave the bread a nice smoky flavor. Thanks for sharing, Annacia!
