This buttermilk cornbread is so moist and delicious – just add some honey and your golden!
This buttermilk cornbread is the ideal recipe to have around during the cozy months. It comes together so quickly and it is beyond delicious!
Y’all haven’t lived till you make your own cornbread. It’s like nothing else in the world. So moist and corny good. My favorite part is slathering on the butter and honey. Total side dish or dessert perfection.
The moistness of this bread is second to none. It’s all thanks to that buttermilk. But if you don’t have any buttermilk, don’t worry! Simply sub in 3/4 cups sour cream or Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup milk (or water).
Please serve this with butter and honey and don’t look back. This bread will become a staple in your home. We love to use this cornbread recipe in my Seafood Stuffing Recipe.

Excellent. Not too sweet. Mine was done in 15 mins. Will definitely make this again. Will it taste the same or very similar if I use full fat greek yogurt?
I didn’t have buttermilk and I didn’t read far enough to see I could have substituted Greek yogurt & milk, so I ended up just using coconut milk. It’s the first time I’ve made corn bread and I’m now obsessed! Can’t wait to have more for breakfast tomorrow with coffee!
Hi Sue, I’m so glad you tried it! Thanks for sharing your substitutions with us too! Super helpful
Its sounds delicious, your corn bread! I love corn bread!😋
But, can I use almond flour instead of regular flour?🙏
Could I substitute Almond flour for the AP? If so, are there any other changes to the recipe that would need to be made? Thanks!
Hi, Do you know the caloric amount for each serving?
Thanks
Should I store on the counter or refrigerator? Thanks!
Do you have an alternative for the white flour you would recommend?
You must make. The best cornbread I’ve ever eaten. 10 star recipe.
