I think that corn bread is one of my favorite breads to make and eat. Last summer when my sister-in-law got married, they had corn bread (along with Eastern North Carolina BBQ and other delicious Southern fare) at their wedding reception, and I couldn’t get enough of it. That was probably a good thing, because there was a ton left over, and we ate lots of it over the next week while we were in North Carolina. I definitely didn’t complain.

While corn bread usually seems like a fall-type food to me, the other day I really wanted to make Taco Chili (which I’ll share soon.) At first I was just going to serve it with chips, but as I was making it, I realized that I thought it should be a crime to serve chili without corn bread. So, I pulled out my cheddar jalapeno corn bread recipe. I wasn’t in the mood for cheddar or jalapeno – just good ol’ classic corn bread.

It was crumbly, yet soft, and it was just moist enough. There is such a balance when it comes to making sure corn bread isn’t too dry or too moist. We went to a chili cook last year, and one of the corn breads that was there seemed like it wasn’t even done. That was definitely not at the top of my list!

I love when I can make something gluten free, and it tastes just like it’s gluten-filled counterpart. So many gluten free recipes don’t turn out that great for me, so when I find ones that do…they make it into my permanent collection. This one definitely will. I’ve made it using both Namaste Perfect Flour Blend, as well as Pamela’s, so I’d recommend using one of those when making this recipe!
