Dietary Restriction Friendly Cornbread

A staple at many Southern dinner tables is cornbread. It’s a great side, especially with a hot meal. Sweet cornbread is typically found in the South, while “regular” cornbread is more common in the North. I feel like “regular” cornbread is bland and definitely prefer the Southern version.

When Nikki had to make changes from her diet, she thought she would miss out on cornbread. Thanks to Aldi’s Live G Free, she doesn’t have to. This cornbread mix is gluten-, wheat-, soy-, dairy-, and egg-free.

We loved the cornbread! It is very sweet and fluffy.  This will be a staple in our house.

  1. I love me some southern cornbread too! Regular is way too dry and bland tasting for my liking. I’d give this a try since it seems quick and easy to whip up!

    • You’re welcome, Evelyn! Even with it being free of so many things, you’d never know because it tastes so good and it’s so moist. 🙂

  2. i will surely try your recipe because it looks good on your photos. I might adjust some sweetness and make it more moist because my kid is a sweet tooth and I think she will love it even better.

    • Please let me know if you make it and what the verdict is! It’s pretty moist on it’s own, but if you do adjust the sweetness, let me know because we may try it next time. 🙂

  3. How lovely that you were able to find a cornbread mix that is gluten free. It looks really quick and simple to make and I am glad you enjoyed this.

  4. That looks delicous! I’ve heard so much about cornbread but have never actually tried it myself, I may have to pop to Aldi to try and find this mix!

  5. This is amazing! I didn’t know that cornbread was so popular that they’d make a gluten free version, but that’s simply great for Nikki.

    • It’s definitely popular enough in the South to need a gluten-free version! lol She was so happy when she found it and even happier after we made it.

  6. My mom always makes cornbread this way and I LOOOVe eating it. Our whole family is crazy about it, I’m glad someone shared this recipe :))

  7. Cornbread – sounds good. Last time I had it it was amazingly good. Will be pinning your recipe:)
