Notes
Inspired by https://allrecipes.com/recipe/grandmothers-buttermilk-cornbread/
I love cornbread. Love, love, love. With that being said, I’m very picky about my cornbread! It can’t be too dry, but it also can’t be too moist. I had some a few weeks ago that was on the verge of being a little too moist (as in, not done.) It can’t be too crumbly or not have enough flavor. Really, it just has to be good.
Jack loves cornbread, too. Unfortunately, with him being on a low FODMAP diet, typical cornbread just doesn’t cut it. My brother invited us to a chili dinner and trunk-or-treat party at his church, and I knew that it would be hard to keep Jack away from the cornbread, so I decided to make him some gluten free cornbread. This recipe can easily be made using regular flour, so don’t let that scare you away, but if you need a gluten free option, this is it. It isn’t entirely dairy free, but if you want it to be, just omit the cheese.
Even better, you can make this all in one dish. Almost zero cleanup. At the party, it was one of the first cornbread dishes that was gone. It was plenty moist, had a bit of spice from the jalapeno, and it was just delicious. I used Namaste Food’s Perfect Gluten Free Flour blend (not sponsored, I just discovered it on my own at Costco!) Since I’m new to gluten free cooking, I was super pleased to find this brand. I’ve made several recipes with it so far, and they’ve all been delicious.
I know chili cook-off season is almost over, but I assure you, this jalapeno cheddar cornbread is one recipe you’ll want to make year-round!
