This gluten-free cornbread is perfect as an accompaniment for soups and salads, or just as a snack with some spread throughout the day. It is one of those quick easy healthy recipes that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The basic gluten-free cornbread recipe without the garlic, chili and rosemary serves as a wonderful blank canvas for a multitude of flavor combinations. Either way, this vegan cornbread is a winner and a lifesaver for those of us living with multiple food allergies. I have suggested using fine cornmeal (or as we say in Australia, polenta) but I also enjoy using coarsely ground cornmeal, which adds a nice rustic texture to this blend. This is one of those great recipes for a mixer. Give this vegan cornbread a go. It will get a rise out of even the most allergy-skeptic foodie.
