5 teaspoons baking powder is way too much.
Amanda Gonzales
I made this recipe as written and it was so delicious! Blue organic cornmeal from my Anson Mills online order was wonderful to use. I’ve never made blue cornbread but will definitely make this again!

I made this recipe exactly as written because I think it is unfair to alter a recipe and then rate it. That being said, this cornbread was incredibly dry and I could hardly swallow it. I really wanted this recipe to work because we had a blue cornbread at a restaurant here in Austin and it was fantastic. Unfortunately, this version didn’t come close to replicating the restaurant version and I don’t even think I will try again with modifications.

Delicious! All that sifting seemed to pay off. This cornbread is almost cake-like. I used 1:1 gluten-free flour and drizzled honey over the top when it came out of the oven. This is a keeper.

This recipe made the most delicious cornbread I have ever eaten. The bread was perfectly baked-no part of it was dry and all of it was moist. I highly recommend it!

Hey Tony, Baking POWDER, not baking soda. Following the recipes and directions make an excellent, unique and pretty healthy cornbread.
Erin Carlson
The best! I don’t use quite as much sugar, maybe half or less, just don’t like my cornbread sweet. Otherwise, love this recipe.
Shane Garner
So yummy! I mixed the dry ingredients but didn’t sift, still turned out great. I didn’t have butter so I used approx 3/8 cup canola oil.

The 5 teaspoons of baking soda made it inedible…..way too much. I would try it again but only use 2 at most.

Used Vegan butter and coconut milk with a splash of vinegar to make the milk ‘buttermilk’ and doubled the recipe for a 9×13 pan. 35 minutes on convection. It turned out so good! My husband and son loved it. I only sifted once due to laziness and it still came out delicious.

Followed the recipe and it was dry. I did not allow the eggs to come up to room temp so that may make a difference.

Made it with coconut flour. needed double to all the wet to keep it from clumping up. the Blue Cornmeal flavor was kinda gone. More coconut but stull good. Find a better egg and milk sub and everyone can eat.
Michelle Freeman
I made just the way the recipe stated and it turned out great!

I have made this recipe a couple of times (I recently fell in love with blue cornmeal) and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Made it without any modifications first. Second time, as it is just my husband and I, I halved the recipe. I made one slight modification which was to add a tablespoon of grated fresh onion. Then I baked it in a small (6 muffin) muffin tin. Reduced baking time to about 15 minutes and they were delicious. Great recipe!! Thanks!
Sergio Schmidt
Far too much baking soda, leaves a terrible aftertaste ruining what’s almost a wonderful bread.
Melissa King
Delicious. Great recipe. Not too sweet. Great flavor.
Alicia Love
Really Really yummy!
Teresa Brown
I followed the recipe as written. Tasted a lot like cake. Gave some to an aunt who liked it. I am making it again today.
Michelle Perry
OMG we will NEVER have cornbread any other way again. This cornbread is exactly what it says it is. We did take the advise of some others and replaced the 1/2 cup butter with 1/2 cup applesauce and it is AMAZING!
Elizabeth Rich
Very beautiful and blue! To make it vegan, simply replace the egg with flax eggs (mix 1 tbsp. ground flax with 2-3 tbs. water per egg replaced), the butter with oil, and the milk with coconut/almond milk. I omitted the baking powder on accident and loved the dense cake-like result!! will definitely be making this recipe again!!
Sabrina Warren
Tastes delicious. I added 8oz of frozen blueberries and it came out almost like blueberry muffin bread. The original photo is definitely yellow cornbread with blue food coloring; blue cornmeal will come out more of a blue-grey.
