Honey Cornbread
I still have honey left over from Skinny J Farms and I’ve had so much fun experimenting with its different uses that I couldn’t wait to share with y’all!
I’ve been popping theses fun bites into my mouth throughout the day and they provide instant bursts of energy from a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, and seeds {I used dates, cranberries, pistachios, almonds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds}. Think about variety and texture….goji berries, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, coconut, chia seeds, apricots, wheat bran/germ, nut butters, even chocolate! I stirred about 1/4-1/2 c of each with about 1/4-1/2 c of honey and let them set in the fridge.
Honey is also what I used to sweeten my pineapple/basil infused white tea…so yummy!
and here’s another baked good made with honey that I just love.
- 2 c cornmeal
- 1 ts fine salt
- 1¼ c full fat sour cream
- 1 egg
- ¼ c melted unsalted butter
- ⅓ c honey
- In your first bowl, sift together your cornmeal.
- In your second bowl, whisk together your sour cream and egg.
- Slowly stream in your melted butter to bowl number 2.
- Lastly, whisk in your honey.
- Combine your first and second together slowly, being mindful not to over beat.
- Bake at 350 in a well greased tin for 25-30 min
Honey also makes for an incredible face mask. I simply pat it on and leave it for up to an hour and follow up with an undiluted apple cider vinegar “toner,” and use coconut oil to moisturize. You could also spruce up this plain mask with the addition of any of the following: avocado, egg yolk, yogurt, lemon…even aspirin!
Lately, I’ve also been swearing by it for my allergies. A spoonful of honey seems to keep the sneezing and itchies at bay {the trick is to get your hands on some good, pure honey that isn’t just “honey syrup” which a lot of commercial brands pass off as “honey”} and speaking of, Timothy F. is the winner of the honey giveaway…please contact me by the end of the weekend.
Honey is what I also often use to finish off my squid stir fry it’s simply divine when drizzled over roasted Korean sweet potatoes, {Goguma} among other dishes…the possibilities are endless!
Hugs & Kisses {as sweet as honey}!
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

I just imagined rolling in honey…lol
I love cooking with honey too and honey is such a great way to sweeten cornbread!
A lot of people swear by using local honey to take of allergy, never tried it personally, am told it has to be local honey.
i switched to entirely natural skincare last year. i.e. I use honey as my cleanser and as a face mask everyday. jojoba oil as moisturiser and makeup remover. tea tree or neem oil for spots. SO yes. Honey is my friend:) I also love eating it of course! So I’m never without a hugeee stash of raw local honey at home!
oh my, this sounds so so good!

Great honey recipes, the fruit and nut bite are great. And I would not have thought of putting honey in corn bread, looks awesome.
I am a big fan of cornbread! So are my dogs…lol! I just made some for Haley’s birthday! Yes, they are spoiled. The fruit and nut bites sound really good too. I would love those fun combinations!
I love using honey in my baking and in my cakes but I am yet to try it in cornbread! I know it will be good: honey makes all food better!
OK honey cornbread is good, but what I really want right now is some of that white tea! What a luxurious iced tea to enjoy as the weather warms up!
Hm, I suppose it did feel a bit luxurious to lounge out back sipping one of these =)
I’ve rediscovered the goodness of honey again and glad I have =)
What a happy Haley! Hope you have a fabulous weekend, Suzie!
I love a sweeter cornbread and this was just the perfect kiss of sweetness.
Thank YOU for visiting, Les…hope you have a great weekend =)
thanks, girl!
I once had it with honey butter so it struck me that it would probably be just as delish to have it baked inside, too.
Thanks, Kristin.
I practically have too at this point. I’ve been loving grape seed oil lately too…honey is a wonderful friend to us all =)
Yes, definitely. I’ve really noticed a huge improvement and allergies are something that I’ve recently stumbled upon so it’s been extra uncomfortable for me but honey (that sweet ole friend) really helped me out =)
Glad you agree =)
I inevitably end up eating some of it, I’m sure =) Happy weekend, Brian!!
You are welcome and thank you Angie. You have a lovely week end! We have a little snow in my area now,melting snow. Lol, Spring?
Honey is amazing. Love the sweet bites. Did you know that honey from hives closest to where you live is the best healer for allergies
Love that tidbit!
Mmmm, honey is such a great compliment to the flavors in cornbread!
Honey butter was the inspiration
Honey basil tea? I’m sure it’s so delish!!!
Sooo delish =)
Hi Angela, your fruit and nut bite look very tempting. Honey is a beauty product, it’s good for our skin The honey corn bread look so soft and moist. Delicious.
Best regards
I couldn’t agree more…thanks, Amelia!
My mama always told me to get local, raw honey as it helps to acclimate your body to the pollen of your region, thus helping to negate the allergy season. Sounds legit. ~.^
Absolutely! I second that.
