What’s a cold winter night without cornbread?

My point exactly. You’ll probably need this tonight.

Seriously.

This cornbread is quite delicious and what makes it extra special is the dash of cinnamon and fresh basil; they add a perfectly sweet touch to each bite. My favorite way to serve this recipe is toasted with a drizzle of honey on top.  Or if you’re feeling extra special, you can top it with a scoop of almond milk ice cream.

How’s that for a winter dessert?

Mmmmm.

As I focus on my self love that I’ve been referring to the last few weeks, I wanted to leave you with a few thoughts to ponder and think about. We all deserve self love and it’s amazing how good it feels to treat your body like you would a little baby- because we give babies so much love, why not give ourselves that same kind of love?

No amount of self improvement can make up for any lack of self acceptance.

The more loving I become, the more significant I will be.

    Ohhh – how exciting. Found you from Bodum’s pinterest page and I love sifting through your site. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes 🙂 I’ve liked both you on Bodum on FB!

  2. I love to make soup and this would be a great tool to have in the kitchen! Thanks for the opportunity! Liked both FB pages.

  3. I just found this blog through So Delicious….entered the contest…looking forward to trying this recipe!

    Thanks for making the world a healthier place!

    1. Thanks Laura; I recommend So Delicious Coconut Milk or Almond Milk Ice Cream. I do have a recipe but still working on it so it may not be up until the summer! xox

  4. I “liked” both on Facebook and now will wait for February 11 to see if I am the lucky winner!! I am excited to make this recipe!

  5. This looks like a great recipe – thanks Amie for sharing your “clean foods”approach! I liked both FB pages and look forward to learning more from you in the future.

  6. Would you please share the nutritional information as well as the calories please. And what gluten-free flour would you suggest I substitute for the rice flour (to compliment the recipe well) as I am allergic to rice? Thank you! This looks delicious!

    1. Thank you; seems the nutritional info was for some reason not appearing; I will refresh this and hopefully it will appear for you soon. I would try using almond flour, chickpea flour, buckwheat flour or coconut flour blends; you can even use quinoa flour. I used a gluten-free flour blend with rice for this recipe. Thanks Becky; have a great day!

  7. “No amount of self improvement can make up for any lack of self acceptance”…I am truly starting to realize how true that really is. Amen. Thanks Amie.

  8. Congratulations on your new Glamour column!! I love that magazine so I can’t wait to start reading your column. That cornbread looks so good and I’m definitely going to making it soon! I follow The Healthy Apple and Bodum North America on Facebook.

  9. Hi,
    I can’t wait to try this recipe. The cinnamon/basil flavor is calling me. Sounds delicious. I am liking the Healthy Apple and the Bodum FB pgs.
    Thanks so much!
    Colleen
    PS I’ll be back to rate the recipe after I try it

  10. “No amount of self improvement can make up for any lack of self acceptance.” I love this!!! Thanks for the glorious recipe. I pretty much think cinnamon makes EVERYTHING better. But maybe that’s just me 😉
