Loaf leavened with yeast. Requires a bread machine. Here's one of my favorite breads to make. The trick here is to use stone ground cornmeal, not the powdered/bleached variety. It gives the bread a great flavor, and a really nice coarse texture. The combination of ingredients give it a very different flavor than standard banana/nut or pan-baked corn bread.

Made a bunch of these cranberry chews at the weekend, and they were so good. I used half whole wheat flour, which I usually do when I bake. I also used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup butter, and these bars came out wonderfully delicious. I have been enjoying them for breakfast and snack. I froze most of the bars. A great recipe.
