The past few weeks I’ve been posting recipes including all of my fall cravings. Apple, cranberry, pumpkin & sweet potato show up often. Now I have this amazing Maple Cheddar Skillet Cornbread for you to try!
Do you adore cornbread? It doesn’t take long at all to bake & it looks so rustic and fun in the skillet ~ don’t ya think?
Cornbread is super tasty comfort food.
You don’t have to save it just for the cooler weather months though.
It is also heavenly to take on hikes and picnics. It is also amazing aprés ski food.
I was sure to make this one gluten free so everyone could indulge.
Be sure you have some homemade cranberry sauce handy as a dip.
Ever since I gazed upon my friend Teresa’s post Cornbread 101: How to Make Perfect Cornbread I knew I had to make some myself!
By the way, have I ever told you how much I love Miss Teresa ~ you have got to check out her FUN filled blog Blooming on Bainbridge.
T’s is a classic take with southern charm ~ mine is lightened up a bit. I tend to do that kind of thing.
I am so excited about my Vegan Cranberry Whipped Cream. I had to slather it all over this cornbread. You might need to do this too.
Do you have a favorite cornbread recipe?
Do you go traditional or do you add any secret ingredients to your cornbread? I dare you to share….

Very pretty pictures of delicious looking cornbread Marla!
Thanks so much Heather!
Cornbread is a staple where I’m from and I’m addicted to anything maple so this is right up my alley – I tend to prefer sweeter cornbreads anyway. This looks so good!
I love to crumble up leftover cornbread in a glass and add milk. Have you heard of it before? It’s really common in east Kentucky. So good. The old folks even do it with buttermilk – yuck!
Rachel, that crumbled up cornbread + milk sounds awesome! A great snack or alternative to breakfast cereal. I did not know that is a common thing in Kentucky, thanks for sharing that tradition. I’ll pass on the buttermilk too!
That cornbread looks fantastic and really mothwatering! Nice flavors and texture.
Cheers,
Rosa
yes yes yes yes yes! i just bought some cornmeal the other day to remove myself from the cornbread drought i’m currently living in. i think this version should be first on the list, right? 😉
Sure!! I think it should Heather 🙂 Enjoy!
Awee..what a wonderful bread..now I need to make the cranberry sauce soon..amazing clicks, Marla. Love the styling and those bright colored props.
Thanks Sanjeeta ~ I am always a fan of those bright colors!
I love the sound of your cornbread. The cheddar and maple syrup are a perfect match!
Thanks for the link to my Basque cornbread, Marla!
Jean, my pleasure ~ your cornbread looks great! Maple & cheddar are certainly a match made in heaven 🙂
I have been making so many things in my cast iron skillet lately – love it. And love this cornbread idea. Easy and comforting!
This sounds delicious and looks great in the skillet! I want to try it. Your photos are always pure eye candy…with no calories:)
This looks delicious! Quick question..what size skillet did you use? I have a skillet dying for some cornbread but wasn’t sure it was big enough. Also, what brand of cornmeal did you use? I would love a recommendation. Beautiful photos! Thank you, Heather
Heather, a 10″ cast iron pan is perfect for this. I use Bob’s Red Mill fine cornmeal. Hope you get to try it soon!
Gorgeous, Marla! I love skillet cornbread for all those crusty side bits. A fall favorite for sure!
My husband is going to love this!!
This looks really good to me – I’m going to make some up and serve it with the chili I’m making for dinner – love all the colorful pics too!
Yummy! Your cornbread looks delish! I love the cranberries on top! Beautiful touch!!
This looks wonderful! I love that you paired the cornbread with the cranberry – so beautiful!
This looks great! Is there a substitute for Kefir?
Rebekeh, sure you can try plain yogurt, milk or my favorite unsweetened coconut milk. My best guess is the coconut milk would have it bake up with the most similar results. Let me know what you try 🙂
My fiance and I love corn bread! I am saving this recipe for sure.
I love cornbread, especially baked in a skillet. Beautiful photos!
Oh Marla, pretty pretty pretty! Cornbread never looked so good!
Fun combination of flavors!
I need this in my life. Right about now!!!!!
Kiran, go ahead and make one this weekend. I promise it is quick and well worth your time.
Superb…. What a combo
So pretty! I love cornbread, and I love your fruit additions on top!! Beautiful!
Thanks Carla. I am obsessed with cranberries lately ~ they are showing up in all of my food photos!
Holy cow, does that ever look good, Marla! We make batches upon batches of chili each year and really need a good cornbread recipe to go with it.
Dara, I am certain you have many awesome cornbread and chili recipes ready to go!
Every time I visit your site I end up with hunger pangs. Where do I even begin!? The cornbread, the cran sauce, so many yummy options!
Thanks Kelly!! Back at ya! Love your recipes too 🙂
Love cornbread! And yours look fascinating! Cranberry dip sounds yummy with cornbread, great idea! Here is my favorite cornbread with raisin http://www.giverecipe.com/corn-bread-with-raisin.html
Looks amazing, Marla! I love the addition of maple syrup and cheddar to cornbread!
That beautiful cranberry sauce and whipped cream are the perfect companions, what a great addition.
Dreamy cornbread! I do like cornbread, but your take on it might make me fall in love with it!
I was just thinking of cornbread today – love this version with kefir!
Hopefully you can try it soon Jeanette – the kefir adds great flavor + texture to this cornbread 🙂
Marla, This looks amazing! Your photos are unbelievable. We can’t wait to try this one with our Kefir.
By the way, Rachel – I’ll bet your East Kentucky Cornbread & buttermilk in a glass would be great with plain kefir too!
You are making me crave cornbread this morning! Beautiful photos and I also want the vegan whipped cream!
