Cornbread

I love cornbread as long as I can spread butter and honey on it and pick it up without crumbling to bits. This recipe stays moist and holds together even if you need to make it gluten-free or dairy-free or both! It is simple and can be thrown together about as quick as any box mix. And, in my opinion, tastes better than any box mix.

Just mix the cornmeal, flour (white or gluten-free), sugar, baking soda, and salt in one bowl and the milk (dairy or dairy-free), eggs and vegetable oil in another.

Then whisk the dry ingredients into the wet.

Line a 12 muffin tin with papers or spray an 8 x 8 glass pan and pour the batter in.

Bake in a 350 degree oven – about 20 minutes for muffins and 25 – 30 minutes for the pan. Insert a toothpick in the center and if it comes out clean, they are ready. Top with some butter (or butter substitute) and honey or your favorite preserves.

Enjoy!

Cornbread goes great with any chili. You can make my  No Bean Chili recipe in about 45 minutes.

Cornbread

Cornbread can go with just about any meal and can easily be made gluten-free just by replacing the flour with gluten-free baking flour. I have used the Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten-free baking flour and it turns out delicious and moist. This recipe can be made dairy-free as well by switching out the milk with unsweetened coconut or another nut or soy milk. I have made this gluten-free and dairy-free at the same time (crazy!) and it turns out tasty and moist.
