WOW, this cornbread is amazing! It is moist, soft and sooo delish! YUM! I loved the addition of veggies in this bread, it added great texture and taste! The colour was also gorgeous and since the veggies were grated, it was also a pinch to make.
I used whole spelt flour, a little less butter than called for and reduced the sugar by half, but other than that stuck to your recipe and loved it!
