This golden cornbread leans on hearty cornmeal for its signature crumbly texture and just the right amount of sweetness from organic cane sugar. A flaxseed gel gives the batter body and helps everything bind together, while a splash of apple cider vinegar adds a subtle tang that balances the sweetness beautifully. Baked in a hot oven until the top turns deep golden and a toothpick comes out clean, each square has a satisfying crust with a soft, tender interior underneath. Neutral oil keeps the crumb moist without weighing it down, letting the corn flavor shine through in every bite. Cut into nine generous squares, this is the kind of side that pairs easily with chili, soups, or a weeknight dinner spread. It's a solid pick for a low FODMAP table, delivering all the comfort of classic cornbread without any guesswork.
