This Sweet Corn Bread is the perfect side dish for your favorite meal! It is super moist and has a nice hint of sweetness to it. I haven’t met a person that doesn’t like it!
As a kid, I hated corn bread. I thought corn bread and sourdough bread were an abomination. While I still haven’t fully grown out of my dislike for sourdough, the exact opposite is true for this sweet corn bread. I love it now! Give me a piece of warm, freshly made corn bread, with a slab of butter on top and I am perfectly content.
This cornbread makes the perfect side to just about any meal. Try it with our personal favorite – a hearty bowl of chili!

How can I make this sweet corn bread into sweet cornbread muffins?
If you are wondering how you can make this recipe into sweet cornbread muffins, feel free to visit this Sweet Cornbread Muffins post! I shook things up and I don’t whip the egg whites. A lot of people have told me that they notice a difference when they whip them versus when they don’t, so test them both out for yourself to find out which way you like best. Either way, this sweet corn bread is so amazing and won’t let you down!
Can I freeze this sweet corn bread?
Yes, you can! Let it cool completely before freezing and store it in a freezer storage bag. It is good in the freezer for up to two months. Let it thaw on the counter before reheating in the microwave. Place a mug of water in the microwave while heating it to keep it extra moist.
