The best gluten free cornbread to pair with big bowl of Tuscan Sweet Potato White Bean soup or rather my version of an “Italian Wedding” style soup, if you wish. This cold front that were experiencing in Northern Michigan has us craving comfort food, mid April! This delicious combo is sure to do the trick and warm you right up and you’ll most likely be set with some leftovers, win-win.
Gluten Free Salted Bourbon Maple Cornbread Muffins
These cornbread muffins hit straight to the heart. They are perfectly savory, have crisp edges but a salty top and a soft inside. Not to forget, they are gluten free so make a double batch for everyone to enjoy and have seconds! They also freeze super well and are known to please even the pickiest of eaters, ahem, an almost 4 year old... Ella has been getting more selective lately with what she thinks she wants to eat, but these definitely won approval, so for that, they are worth sharing! Also, if you don't have any Bourbon Maple syrup, no worries. Just swap out for regular maple syrup! Trust me, you're going to want that extra maple touch in these.
