    Portion control is easier with a small batch of cornbread. Use a small skillet or pan to cook authentic Southern style cornbread. One portion is about 14gm carb and ready in about 30 minutes!

    This recipe updated with new photos and expert tips.

    Small Batch Cornbread recipe to help you manage portion size and avoid over-eating! Cornbread is a delicious addition to winter-time meals, but most recipes make a HUGE amount of cornbread! The temptation to over-eat on cornbread is real! Try this healthy alternative.

    I decided to dig out my super-cute, super-small skillet (6 ½") and downsize my cornbread recipe to make a more manageable amount of cornbread deliciousness. For those who are counting carbs, if your serving size is a quarter of the cornbread recipe, you will get just 13 grams carb.
