HEALTHY-ISH CORNBREAD GLUTEN-FREE
This healthy-ish cornbread is sweet, salty with a bit of spice. Three different flavor combos and textures! Super moist and tender. This recipe is gluten free and sugar free with a bit of a twist if you want to make it paleo and keto friendly. This cornbread isn’t your typical corn meal type of bread, this is more on the fluffier, softer lighter side. No white or whole wheat flours just pure fresh ingredients with a bit of creaminess and cheesiness added to the mix!
