If you read the ingredients in this recipe you will see that these are healthier ingredients than the ones in regular cornbread and real cooks still use cast iron skillets.

What is this for- a whole meal, or a side-dish? If the latter, too many ingredients- skip the corn, the sugar sub, most of the flour, the onion, the salt (the baking powder has plenty). Also, I use corn flour. If you don't want to use real butter, then use canola oil- margaine sucks and is hydrogenated.

I avoid foods like cornbread, and I don't see much difference in this recipe that makes it sound like a safe food. I'd rather bake a cake & subststute the sugar if I'm going to eat that many carbs. If I choose to have a dessert like this, I'd have to skip my meal, n' that isn't healthy.
Maybe could have an egg omelette with it, tho ? Then could afford to use most of allowed carbs if eating this corn bread…or any other dessert.

You could use Egg Beaters to lower the cholesterol but this recipe is off to a downside start by having 3 starchy content items (flour, cornmeal and canned corn.

at 22 carbs for one slice does not leave much for the rest of dinner since we can only have 45 barbs per meal as a female
