Growing up I never had cornbread, so when I first made cornbread, I had no taste barometer of what it should or should not taste like. What I discovered, was that I am not a fan of the classic cornbread. Since I made this personal declaration, I have others commenting that my cornbread is not like normal cornbread, yet somehow better! Yay! If you are or are not a fan of cornbread, this recipe may either turn you into a fan and/or awaken your tastebuds to a new adventure in cornbread! For those with dietary restrictions, this bread is also dairy free, gluten free and egg free!
