I recently discovered that I had a gluten sensitivity issue and that cornbread was not gluten-free. Having grown up on cornbread, I had to find a way to get my fix now and then, turns out that gluten and dairy free cornbread isn't very popular (probably because it is not technically "Paleo"). So I set out to create a gluten-free and dairy-free option that also did not have any refined sugar, tall order huh? Well, this is the creation of that goal, turns out it is doable and having tried it on a few friends who couldn't tell that it was gluten and dairy free without any brown sugar to be seen, enjoy!
