Sweet Cornbread Recipe

We LOVE this sweet cornbread recipe! I have tried so many various recipes that are either too dry, too bland, too dense, etc. This combination seems to be the best for us! Everyone has an opinion about how cornbread should taste though! If you like a light and sweet cornbread, this could be the recipe for you! This pairs so well with our crockpot chili recipe, bbq, or just as a snack. Our kids enjoy having a piece anytime of the day when we have it available in the kitchen!

We hope you give our cornbread a try! Let me know if you like it with a comment below!

I highly suggest using organic cornmeal since corn is often genetically modified, and always opt for aluminum free baking powder. I linked the ones we use below!

• 1 cup 1 whole milk

• 1 large 1 egg

Notes

• If you are making other items at the same time, I have also baked it successfully at 350F for 30-35 minutes.
• I have also made it with 1/2 cups of sugar instead for a slightly less sweet cornbread.
