- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with coconut oil, pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges start to brown and tha toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Stuffing
- While the cornbread is baking, heat your olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add your diced onion and celery, saute about 5 minutes until soft, then add the dried cherries and parsley, toss to combine
- Add the salt and vegetable broth to the skillet and simmer for a couple minutes
- Keeping your oven on, remove the cornbread and using a spatula or large spoon, spoon the cornbread into larger chunks into a large bowl (be careful! your baking dish will be very hot!)
- Add the 4 tablespoons of butter, then pour the skillet mixture over the cornbread stuffing and stir. Add the mushroom powder here if using
- Transfer your stuffing to a large baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 20 minutes, you can remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes if you like the top a little crispy
