This isn’t your average cornbread—it’s a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy twist that bakes up perfectly in individual ramekins. Fresh apple adds a touch of natural sweetness, jalapeño brings just the right amount of heat, and sharp cheddar melts into every bite for a rich, comforting finish. What makes this version extra special is the use of Maizly CornMilk natural corn flavor—so you get all the classic cornbread nostalgia without using cornmeal. Paired with almond flour, oat fiber, and vanilla whey protein, this recipe stays low-carb, protein-packed, and deliciously satisfying. The single-serve ramekins make it fun to serve, whether alongside a hearty chili, at a fall dinner table, or simply enjoyed warm with butter melting into the golden crumb. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and a touch of corn-kissed comfort—autumn in every bite.
