This Berry Thyme Cornbread is the perfect summer side dish for barbecues, picnics, and dinners on the patio. With bursting sweet berries and savory earthiness from the thyme, it pairs with a variety of other dishes.
Is it just me or are we all ready to jump on the summer food bandwagon? I’ve been enjoying salads, smoothie bowls, and now – cornbread. Bring out the BBQ chicken and a big fresh salad and I’m happy.
This recipe takes your typical cornbread for a little loop, lowering the sugar content while adding in sweet, bursting blackberries and some earthy thyme. The trick to baking with berries is to use frozen berries without thawing them – what I use for all my baked goods – and toss them in a bit of flour to prevent them from all sinking to the bottom.
