Golden, sunny, and just sweet enough, this cornbread bakes up with a tender crumb and crisp, buttery edges that practically beg for a pat to melt on top. Cornmeal gives it that classic gritty-soft texture while a touch of vanilla rounds out the flavor with warmth instead of sharpness. Whisking the wet and dry ingredients separately keeps the batter light and prevents overmixing, so every square rises evenly with a clean, golden top. It cuts into nine neat pieces, perfect alongside a bowl of chili or eaten on its own with a smear of jam. This one's an easy addition to a low FODMAP spread, since portioned squares and simple pantry staples make it easy to keep gut-friendly without sacrificing that classic cornbread taste.
