Adding creamed corn to this plant-based Skillet Cornbread makes it almost buttery in texture and flavour. And cooking it in a skillet makes the outside crisp while the inside stays moist. Serve this cornbread hot straight from the skillet with chili, breakfast, or in our Plant-based Cornbread and Sausage Stuffing.
