Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Combine1/2 cup corn and egg in a food processor or blender and pulse until almost smooth. Add buttermilk, butter and honey (or sugar); pulse until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the remaining 1/2 cup corn and green chiles. Stir until just combined. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and coat with cooking spray. Scrape the batter into the hot pan, spreading evenly. Top with cheese. Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Tips Tips: Whole-grain cornmeal (with the nutritious germ and fiber-rich bran left intact) is increasingly available in well-stocked supermarkets. Look for "whole grain" on the label. For this recipe, we recommend using fine or medium whole-grain cornmeal.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
