Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, tarragon).
- Blend the dates with the oat milk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients (corn, applesauce, and the blended date mixture).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

What Makes it cholesterol-Free?
Two key ingredients are missing from this recipe to ensure it's completely cholesterol-free. You can enjoy the whole dish without impacting your cholesterol levels:
- No dietary cholesterol: Animal products are the only source of dietary cholesterol, and this recipe is 100% plant-based.
- No added fats: While some high-fat recipes may claim to be cholesterol-free, the saturated fats in them are converted by our liver into cholesterol. This recipe avoids that trap entirely.
The secret to lowering cholesterol naturally and quickly is to avoid dietary cholesterol and added fats like oils. Every time we consume these, we’re harming our arteries and increasing our risk of heart attacks and strokes.
As much as I love steak and butter, the consequences are just too serious for me to ignore.
