Take a new twist on a good old favorite. This Strawberry Cornbread is delicious and very simple to make. It's served with an irresistible homemade strawberry sauce!
So, here is the first cornbread recipe of 2017!
I know, we have just entered the pumpkin craze but I simply couldn't wait until November to share this strawberry cornbread recipe with you. I know, this is not a traditional cornbread recipe but, hey, sometimes a twist is what makes things better, right?
I actually prepared this cornbread over the summer when I had tons of strawberries. Being a food blogger gives me the chance to think of new recipes all the time and most of the time, the result is quite satisfying.
I also made a homemade strawberry sauce to serve the cornbread with but you can also simply serve it with honey. What I love the most about this strawberry cornbread is the strawberries on top. They are juicy and give a great flavor to the cornbread.

Notes and tips for making this strawberry cornbread:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and place the cast iron skillet in the oven. Leaving the cast iron skillet in the oven and letting it become hot will help the cornbread form a nice crust.
- You can also make this cornbread in a cake pan or a glass oven safe dish. If you're planning to make it in a glass oven safe dish, you don't need to leave the dish in the oven while preheating.
- Don't have buttermilk in the fridge? Pour 1 cup of milk in a bowl, pour 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice and stir well. then let it sit for 10 minutes. Your buttermilk is ready!
