This reduced-sugar cornbread is the perfect companion to your favorite chili recipe, and it tastes just like the kind your grandmother used to make! The lower sugar content is great for meeting resolutions and meal planning goals.

I love a good cornbread recipe with my chili. Especially if it’s a cornbread that the entire family can enjoy, including my dad, who has to watch his sugar intake. Unfortunately, sweet cornbread without the sweet is just kind of… well, blah. It doesn’t suit the chili right, which is why I set out on a mission to make an awesome reduced-sugar sweet cornbread, which would work really well in moderation to allow us all to enjoy that cornbread flavor we know and love.

It’s no secret that I’m quite the coffee addict. And with coffee comes a very strong-handed pour of flavored creamer, which, you know, has all kinds of sugar… and calories… and other fun stuff that is far from healthy OR natural. As I’ve worked really hard to lose some of the weight I put on over the past couple of years, I realized I had to make some changes. That meant cutting back on coffee (it’s just too hard to drink it without the flavored creamer) and cutting back on my sugar intake, too. That’s where Bigelow Tea and Truvia zero-calorie natural sweetener come in. And what’s tea time without a delicious, low-sugar treat? That’s where this delicious cranberry pecan tea cake come in! Made with Bigelow Tea and Truvia natural sweetener, you’ll not even believe me when I say it’s low-sugar, because it doesn’t taste like it!
