Easy Cornbread with Chipotle Olive Oil

Easy Cornbread with Chipotle Olive Oil Feature

Cornbread is a southern staple and whether it’s made with hominy in a cast iron skillet or if it comes out of a box, you might see it served with chili in the cooler months or as muffins at spring picnics. While there may be no replacing a classic iron skillet recipe, sometimes the convenience of a box mix at the last minute can be a savior. Elevate the simple box mix by using our Chipotle infused extra virgin olive oil. Remember our Easy Orange Fudge Brownies recipe that used our Blood Orange extra virgin olive oil to liven up a boxed mix? We whipped this up in a jiffy and it was gobbled up just as quickly. Easy and quick does not always mean you have to compromise flavor!
