Subtly sweet gluten free buckwheat cornbread pairs beautifully with a savory swirl of basil pesto! Easy and delicious!
I was in the mood for a baking experiment when I threw this delicious bread together. I wanted to make cornbread, but not the standard cornbread fare — and boy was I happy with this creation!
For this recipe, you can use homemade or store-bought basil pesto. But, I have included my recipe for basil & sunflower seed pesto which is what I use when I make this cornbread!
Now if you’ve never paired these two things together before, you are in for a real treat!
A bite of healthy and hearty buckwheat cornbread with its crisp crust coupled with the creamy deliciousness of basil pesto is a match made in heaven!
I promise.
