Notes

Additions and Substitutions

If you like a little spice and heat in your cornbread, I highly recommend adding the red chili pepper flakes. The chili flakes give a nice little kick to the cornbread and are totally optional. Or add 1/2 chopped jalapeño pepper into the wet ingredients.

Any kind of sour cream will work for this recipe, or you could substitute yogurt instead.

You could also substitute the vegetable oil for another light oil, like sunflower oil or olive oil.

I like adding fresh or frozen corn in my cornbread mix because I like to see the pieces of corn in the bread as I enjoy it. However, if you don't have fresh, frozen, or canned corn, you can omit it for the recipe.
