Sweet Cornbread Recipe?

[NotUrsula]

IME, any recipe for cornbread that is sized to make a 9" skillet of it can be made sweet by adding a 1/4 cp of granulated sugar to the batter.

I make sweet onion cornbread; I add sugar and a handful of finely-chopped green onion to the batter. For some unknown reason, the onion tops seem to intensify the sweetness.

Another boxed cornbread mix that tastes sweet is Trader Joe's.

My kids love it, especially with the copycat of Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter... Now that I can't eat corn (allergy) I make it using cream of wheat. YUMMY!

I don't have a link handy but on Pinterest, there is a recipe for corn bread that's made in part with yellow cake mix. I've never tried it, but it looks good and I bet it would be sweet and moist.

My favorite restaurant corn bread, which is very sweet, is from the BBQ chain Smokey Bones. They have a skillet corn bread that is thick and moist, and is served with a sweet pecan butter that really makes it. Whatever recipe you go with, I'd highly recommend finding a specialty butter to go with it which could make it even sweeter.
