Confetti Cornbread Recipe Is So Easy to Make From Scratch — Oven-Ready in 15 Minutes
Dotted with corn, scallions and pimientos, our tasty cornbread is oven-ready from scratch in just 15 minutes
Cornbread is the best side dish, especially when you’re eating a hearty bowl of chili, a smoky barbecue platter or a big plate of Southern comfort food. It’s the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Another perk? Homemade cornbread doesn’t take long to make, unlike other breads. So for our Confetti Cornbread recipe, we not only make it from scratch, we also add a little bit of color.
While this recipe uses the standard ingredients including cornmeal, sugar, butter, etc., we also mixed in scallions and pimientos to give it that extra pop of color and, of course, flavor. The best homemade cornbread also has fresh corn kernels, which are used here. Prepping everything only takes 15 minutes and then all you have to do is pop it in the oven! Slather it with butter, or eat it fresh and warm.
