Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Cornbread

I love cornbread. I love making cornbread. I love eating cornbread. Cornbread, cornbread, cornbread.

Good ole Southern cornbread is simple and easy to make, tasty with a touch of sweet, and golden brown, crunchy skillet edges. What’s not to love?

More often than not I pour the batter into one skillet, but on occasion I make muffin versions. They are so easy to grab for breakfast in the morning or for an afternoon snack.

My favorite way to eat cornbread is warmed up with a smear of Earth Balance butter and a squeeze of honey. Mix it all together = perfection!
