Soft, fluffy, and perfectly sweet sourdough cornbread! Sweetened with honey and made with super simple ingredients. This one is 100% a keeper for those cozy fall and winter months!
I was so happy with how soft and fluffy this cornbread turn out! It’s also perfectly sweet with honey and a bit of unsweetened apple sauce. It’s lower in sugar than many cornbread recipes out there, which I personally prefer!
I made this using my sourdough discard, but it will also work with some active and bubbly starter. Just use what you’ve got on hand ready to go! It has a slight tang of sourdough that I love, without being too overpowering.
It’s just soo perfect and delicious. My new go-to cornbread recipe!
The most perfect addition to your cozy bowl of chili! This sourdough honey cornbread is quick and easy to make, and perfect for feeding your family or a group this Fall/Winter! I can’t wait for you all to make this one! Enjoy! xo
