Spicy Peanut Butter Swirled Cornbread

Hey guys I'm Alejandra and I'm Caroline and today we're making Spicy Peanut Butter Cornbread. So this is the perfect Thanksgiving side dish because its kind of classic but its got a little bit of a twist. Gonna start out by just doing kind of a basic cornbread mix. Got some ground ground cornmeal in here, some flour, some sugar because this is one of those sweet northern cornbreads. Haha. Get that whisked in. Then we've got a little bit of baking powder, baking soda, and very important, a little touch of salt. And get that all mixed up until its pretty even. I see you have some wet ingredients here can i start on those too? Yes, you can. So we've got two eggs, whisked up a little bit. Whisk! Haha. Whisk them up. And I'm going to add a little bit of honey. Ok. Just a little extra sweetness. Some buttermilk. So if you don't have buttermilk what would you use in your kitchen? You can do some yogurt. Not the thick Greek yogurt but the plain regular yogurt or some milk with about, about a cup of milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in it just to give it that little bit of acidity. I see also that you added olive oil, what was the thinking behind that? Well its just sort of a nice savory dish and the olive oil just kind of gives it a little extra depth of flavor. It's pretty good. Perfect. And this can go into my dry ingredients. Get that all in there. Mix that together. And just pretty simple, I don't need a mixer or anything. I kind of just get it all combined. Yea. It's nice and easy. It seems like a last minute thing before rushing out for a holiday meal. Just throw it together, bring it along. It's great. Exactly. There we go. Perfect so see how it's a nice kind of smooth batter. So now I'm actually going to portion out some of this to your little bowl here. Mmk. Um and just want to put a little portion here. And this is the part that I'm going to mix up with the peanut butter. That's why I'm setting that aside. Can I snag this peanut butter for you? Yes, please. I see you've chosen The Heat Is On peanut butter. The Heat Is On! Nice. That's right because we're adding some spice to this. So just kind of do a big ol heaping scoop of that in there. Ok. Even more than that. A little bit more? Alright. I like a little extra heat. Nice get that all in there. And a little more buttermilk just to kind of thin it out because the peanut butter can be thick so we want a nice smooth peanut butter portion. What's great is I'm going to actually swirl this peanut butter batter into the regular batter and it's going to bake up so you get a little bit of a sweet, a little bit of spicy, nice blend of flavors. I see we have a prepared here. Yess. So just a little parchment paper in the pan. Make it easier to get the cornbread out later. Oh yea i love it. So you can just lift and go. Exactly. Nice. So lets get this in there. Alright. You wanna scoop that in? Sure. Just all of it? Yes all of it in. Just sort of spread it out nicely. I'm just going to follow it up with this. Perfect. Just going to spread it out. Fabulous. Get it to the edges there. It looks though but its going to rise once its done baking. And I'm just going to put little bits of this around the batter. It smells so good. It smells kind of hot. Haha. Yea you can smell those sort of chilies and great spices of The Heat Is On. I'm just swirling right now. Just use a knife or a toothpick, back of spoon, whatever you got. Swirl that spicy batter in here. So this is awesome. Looks good right. Looks gorgeous. So this is all ready to go into the oven. So i just pulled this out of the oven and letting it cool maybe just about ten, fifteen minutes. Nothing too crazy. You want a nice warm cornbread side. See how easy that comes out, yes looks gorgeous. It's golden brown, it smells so good. And then just kind of cut it into little squares. We can just plate these up. Lovely, I can't wait to try it. I can see a little bit of swirl in there. Nice. Wanna try it? Yes! Haha. Can I do that now? Oh good. I have two. Oh perfect. Alrighty. Cheers. Mmm The Heat Is On was perfect. It tastes so good.
