And of course, I’m sharing my brand new Blueberry Cornbread!
There’s a grocery store here that make the most incredible blueberry cornbread, so I set out to recreate it.
I like to use fresh berries for this, but frozen will work just as well.
Of course, you’ve got to have Martha White self-rising cornmeal!
To start, preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk your dry ingredients together.
In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and vanilla together. Then combined the two and add the melted butter. Mix well. Then fold in the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes to until set and golden brown.
I love this stuff warm for breakfast or even with a scoop of ice cream for dessert!
If you get a chance to join us for the Cornbread Festival, be sure to say hello! I’d love to hug your neck!

Looks crazy good! Blueberries are my all-time favorite fruit. I’ve never thought to add them to cornbread. I bet some syrup would put this over the top!
Stacey says
That sounds amazing!! What a great idea!

APeacock says
Is it best to use a glass or metal baking dish?
Stacey says
I much prefer a dark colored metal for a crispier edges, but any will work.
April says
Can you use a cast iron skillet for this?
Stacey says
Absolutely!
Louise says
What a great combination! This could pass for a light dessert with a little maple syrup drizzled over the top. I would lightly flour the blueberries before folding in……it keeps them from sinking to the bottom while baking.
Stacey says
Thanks so much, Louise!
