I’ve been living down here in South Carolina for more than two decades now. And there are a few traditional Southern recipes that I’ve learned to make. As a result, I’ve wanted to give a few of them a real food makeover. One of those is cornbread….but I want to make it sprouted cornbread!

I’ve been spending some time experimenting with my sprouted wheat and sprouted corn flours and trying to find a cornbread recipe that isn’t too sweet and works well. After a few unsuccessful trials, I have finally come up with a recipe that fits the bill.

I have made this both with turbinado sugar and coconut sugar. I like both. But coconut sugar doesn’t raise blood sugar levels the way the turbinado does. So I tend to use that one a bit more. Use what is best for you!

I used this tonight with my homemade Chili, and it was really yummy! Moist, but not crumbly…and not too sweet either! If you prefer sweeter cornbread, just add 2 more tbsp of Turbinado or coconut sugar to sweeten it up a bit! This would also be great with the Southwestern Chicken Corn Chowder!

Want to make this gluten-free? Substitute sprouted rice flour for the wheat flour for a gluten-free treat!

Sprouted Cornbread

This cornbread uses sprouted cornmeal and can easily be made gluten free with a simple substitution. Top it with some real butter and local honey and…..yum!
