Sweet Cornbread

September 9, 2016 by Holly | 35 Comments

This sweet cornbread is incredible! So moist, sweet and so delicious!Remember the Crock Pot Taco Soup recipe I posted the other day? Well, I have the perfect thing to go with it. This SWEET CORNBREAD! Oh my goodness, this bread was so good. Sweet, moist and just so delicious. (And super easy to make!)

I love cornbread. I honestly had never made it from scratch until I tried this recipe. Normally, I would buy those little boxes from Jiffy and call it good. But now that I know how easy and worth it is to just make myself I don’t think I can go back to the box mixes anymore. 😀

I crumbled up a piece and spread it all over the top of my Taco Soup and ate in pure delight. lol. It was so good I grabbed another piece, slathered it in butter, and ate some more. I was one happy girl. You guys, this really is the perfect bread to enjoy any soup or chili with. I hope you give it a try this soup season!

This sweet cornbread is the perfect side dish to go with any soup or chili! It is moist and so delicious!

    Is this like cake since its sweet? Here in Texas there is no sugar in our cornbread. Some people might add a teaspoon or two to bring out the sweetness of the corn. It’s very good if you use stone ground cornmeal to make it and buttermilk. Very yummy. Yours looks yummy too, though, as a sweet treat!

      It is definitely sweet, but not as sweet as cake. In my opinion. We really loved this as a savory/sweet side with soup and chili.

        I made this tonight, while I don’t have an automatic mixer, which took forever to mix by hand (lol) I can’t wait to try this.. but I feel like it’s been cooking for well over 30 minutes, has anyone else experienced this?

          I just made this last night and mine took almost 40 minutes to bake. I’m sure it was because of the humidity! Very good

    I 1/2’d the recipe and put it in an 8×8 inch pan. (Perfect for 2 people) I added about 1/4 cup each of finely chopped onion, bell pepper and Mexican blend cheese. It was sweet but not too sweet, tender, fluffy and honestly one of the best cornbread I’ve ever made. This recipe is an absolute keeper.

    I made 1/2 recipe and was surprised how firm the cornbread was compared to some that just falls apart. I love it and will make it again.

    In the oven now. Making cowboy dressing. Made 1 little mistake. Instead of 3/4 cup butter. I added 3 sticks butter. I could kick myself.
    Waiting to see how it turns out.

    Just swinging by to say this recipe is amazing! I’m sitting here at midnight, grabbing my favorite recipes off the thousands on my Pinterest, to put in my Paprika app. I’m using it for recipies I MUST have access to offline and this is an absolute must. Made chili a few weeks ago and cornbread by law has got to be served Lol. Found this on Pinterest and thoiught “this looks easy enough”. It was! And so good my 3 year old picky grand son calls it cake! More cake please! Thank you so much!

    I did like the bread. I only used 1 cup sugar and 1/4 tsp salt just because we prefer less sweet and less salty. My husband is very picky and he liked it. Believe me this is an honest 5 star rating.

    OMG, so good! I followed the recipe exactly. When done I poked a bunch of holes on top and rubbed about 1/4 stick of butter over the top.

    Just pulled this out of the oven and oh my goodness it is fabulous. I couldn’t even wait for it to cool off. Even my parrot is begging for some. I did cut the sugar down to a little less than a cup and subbed most of the milk with plain yogurt. Also cut the vanilla down to a little less than 1 teaspoon. So much better than the boxed stuff.

    I absolutely love this corn bread. I will use less sugar and salt next time but the consistency was just right-not like cake and had great texture. My tummy thanks you.

    Very good tasting cornbread! I think next time lll add probably only a 1/2 cup of sugar though. And make sur e your milk is room temperature before adding the melted butter! Big mistake I made. It made the butter congeal.
