🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour (not gluten-free)

Oat flour is a healthier option but not gluten-free.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener.

Preheat the oven and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet inside to heat up.

In a bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups cornmeal, 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine sea salt, and sugar. Adjust sugar to 2-3 tablespoons based on desired sweetness.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack 2 eggs into it.

Pour in buttermilk and whisk until evenly combined.

Fold in melted butter or a dairy-free butter substitute.

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to create a crust.

Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it in an even layer.

Bake until golden brown and lightly cracked on top, about 15 minutes.

Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving.
