Gluten Free Cornbread

This sweet moist cornbread is perfect on its own, with soup or chili , or if you’re my Cece with butter and dripping in honey!

We are not gluten-free, but I like to have certain recipes that I can make so that when the opportunity arises to bring someone a meal that’s gluten-free, I’m ready!  It used to freak me out, if someone was vegetarian, peanut free, or gluten-free.  But now I’ve got a few recipes that I know will work and people seem to like so that’s what I make.

I will say,  after dropping this meal off at my cousin’s house and talking to her about why they are mostly gluten-free;  I’m wondering if I shouldn’t give gluten-free a try.  I have been struggling with some intestinal issues…if you know what I mean.  Also I have had a lingering cold for…well forEVER.  Nose always running.  Also I’m always tired.  And bloated.  What do you think?  I need to google it, I guess.  Maybe make a doctors appointment….I hate going to the doctor with vague symptoms.  Last time I did…well that’s a story for another time.  Are you gluten-free?  May I ask why?  I’d love to hear your story.

So anyway this recipe is basically my cornbread/ strawberry shortbread recipe that I changed up a bit to make it gluten-free.  And it worked wonderfully, and tastes amazing!  Not sure I’ll ever make it the old way again.

So if you’re looking for a great gluten-free meal may I suggest you make Three Bean Turkey Soup with this cornbread?!

Notes

This cornbread makes great strawberry short-cake! 

The leftovers can also be made into croutons. Cut into cubes, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast iron skillet and toss the cubes around until browned and crispy on all sides.  Use for salads, or stuffing.
