Confetti Cornbread
Did you know cornbread makes a delicious breakfast? I made a few changes to the original recipe such as eliminating the sugar – we didn’t miss it and cutting the salt in half, using almond milk instead of soy milk and cut it into 12 servings instead of 8.

Real Flapjacks / Sweet Oat Squares
