I like my cornbread a little sweet, so this was ideal. It really doesn't take much longer to mix this up than it does a mix. The flavor was perfect but the texture wasn't as moist as I would have liked. Thanx for posting! -
This was my first time making cornbread from scratch and it was so easy! It came out crispy on the outside and soft & fluffy on the inside. I only used three tbs of sugar and it was a big hit but I think it would be an even bigger hit if I used the full four! I also replaced half the oil with applesauce to make it a little more healthy. I can't wait to make this again with corn added!! Thank you for posting! Yum!! -
So far this is the best (of5) recipes I've found bc I'm trying to use non-GMO cornmeal. This was perfect! Although I did use half the sugar and it still was a little sweet. Will use this one again!

I almost always use a mix when making cornbread, so this recipe was a nice change of pace for me, with the reward of a easy-to-make, tasty cornbread! Another time I'd like to take the 'Motivated' suggestion & use some applesauce, but other than that . . . Thanks for sharing!

Happily married for nearly four years, I have been a stay-at-home mom since my DD was born prematurely in January 2006. Since that time I have become more conscious of nutrition and the role it plays in every aspect of our lives. Our second DD was just born, and all is going well.
I try to make the majority of our food from scratch, adding in nutritional enhancers when I can. :) I discovered I love baking bread last winter, and have been trying heartier whole-grain recipes.
This summer we planted a huge garden (another first for me!) and I learned how to can. We are already looking forward to next year, as we learned so much (and have so much to change!) this summer about organic gardening.
