• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup 2 percent milk
• 3 drops vinegar (the baking soda will neutralize it, but meanwhile it will help the bread rise)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• Nonstick cooking spray

Stuffing Ingredients:

• 2 slices white bread (preservative free) crust removed, torn in pieces
• 3/4 cup frozen broccoli (partially thaw and chop in 1/2" pieces)

To make the cornbread:

4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the well and gently stir until all is moistened.
5. Spray a 7-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
6. Pour in the cornmeal batter and spread evenly.
