Y’all. Y’ALL. I am about to share literally one of my very most favorite recipes of all time. This sweet, thick, buttery cornbread is literally melt-in-your-mouth goodness that everyone needs in their life. Pair it with some homemade chili and you’ve got the fixins for the ultimate hearty meal.
Now I have to make a confession. I am a cornbread addict. The only thing more dangerous than a pan of cornbread sitting in my kitchen is a pan of peanut butter chip brownies. Except that with the brownies, at least the sugar rush sets in after a few pieces and I force myself to stop. With this cornbread I’ve been known to demolish an entire pan by myself within 24 hours. I’m sure it’s the carbs that are calling my name, but seriously… how can you say no to this buttery treat? It’s like cake, but with less sugar! Totally acceptable for breakfast, snacks, or any meal of the day, am I right?!
Now I’ve had my fair share of cornbread over the years, and despite my deep love for it, I need to tell you that not all cornbread is created equal. Those little store bought packages of the stuff? They are okay in a pinch….I’ve been known to use them on occasion when the kids energy levels have sucked the life out of mine. #momlife
But this recipe? This is literal gold…once you’ve had it, nothing else really compares. And really, this recipe MIGHT take you 5 minutes longer than a box mix. So what I’m trying to say is… it’s worth it. I almost always double the recipe because my family loves this so much, and if I have any hope of reserving at least half a pan for myself, it’s necessary. Don’t judge people….I promise you’ll feel the same after you try it!
