Lean On Me Baking Company - Home Style Cornbread -Reduced Fat/ Gluten Free/ Wheat Free/ Sugar Free/ Yeast Free/ Dairy Free/ No Trans Fat
I thought this single serving of gluten free cornbread from the Lean On Me Baking Company would be great with a hot bowl of soup on a drizzly and particularly miserable autumn day, and I really wasn’t in the mood to make a whole pan of cornbread. Perfect. I picked this frozen product for $2.99 at my local natural foods store. I was curious whether a sugar free, protein packed ( 7 grams!) piece of cornbread tasted any good.
This is what the cornbread looke like fresh from the box. A little icy, eh?
This is what the cornbread looked like after thawing for 45 minutes of my countertop.
The box directions suggest thawing for 10 minutes at room temperature. Ummm, this is not nearly enough for it to thaw and warm enough to eat! After 45 minutes it appeared thawed, so I zapped it in the microwave for 15 seconds for the final warming.
This cornbead is surprisingly moist, almost too much so. It has a springy, smooth texture with a mild corn flavor that is borderline bland. The consistency reminded me more of a cake than a cornbread, as it was not crumbly at all. I definately needed some honeybutter for this cornbread! Overall it is a decent product that is great for soups and chili.
PROS: no crumbling, moist, single serve package, sugar free, 7 g. protein
CONS: almost too moist, bland flavor, long thaw time
Rating: 4 stars
