Shirley Corriher's Bake Wise has a corn in cornbread recipe.

Just add corn kernels to any recipe. Seriously, it makes cornbread amazingly moist without any other changes.

i made this one with blackberries and ricotta, but you could just as easily leave those out and have yourself a delicious corn-filled cornbread.

there's also this one from the new york times. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/dining/033arex.html?ref=dining

Jeanne Lemlin has a recipe for cornbread with corn in it in one of her vegetarian cookbooks. I've made it and it's YUM!

Dorrie Greenspan in Baking From My Home To Yours has a good one.

Like tallsarah mentioned, add corn kernels to any recipe. I like to add kernels and creamed corn.

How about a cornbread recipe for non-crumbly corn bread? The one from the Alber's box is terrible, and doesn't taste all that, well, corny. That said, I'm sure I could buy better corn meal...

The easiest/tastiest cornbread I've had is just a box of jiffy mix and I think half a can of creamed corn. Basically you add enough creamed corn to make the mix the same consistency as it would be if you used eggs and milk. The result is a dense cake-like cornbread with kernels throughout.

I second bhdancegirl's suggestion of Dorrie Greenspan. Find recipe here:

Basic Corn Bread
(from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison)

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose or whole-wheat pastry flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
¼ cup corn oil or butter, melted
2 to 4 tablespoons honey to taste
1 cup milk
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
Preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Put the butter in an 8-inch square baking pan and set in the oven while it’s heating (I would definitely use a cast iron skillet instead if you have it).
Meanwhile, stir the dry ingredients together and make a well in the center of the bowl. In another bowl, whisk
together the wet ingredients. As soon as the oven is hot, remove the pan and brush the butter around the edges. Pour
any excess into the wet ingredients. Quickly mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then pour the batter into the
pan and bake in the middle of the oven until golden brown on top and beginning to pull away from the edges, about
25 minutes. Serve hot right from the pan.

Just such a recipe was in the copy of Bon Appetit I got in the mail yesterday. Bonus - it also has bacon (but what doesn't these days?).

Seriously, just add corn to your favorite recipe. I like using canned corn and replacing some of the liquid with the corn water.

I also love basic cornbread but with corn, green chiles, and pepper jack or cheddar (or both) cheese.

Here's a recipe from Heidi Swanson at 101cookbooks. http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/firecracker-cornbread-recipe.html

I tried it and really liked it - nice and spicy and love the corn kernels.

I like the Good Eats cornbread recipe:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/creamed-corn-cornbread-recipe/index.html

It is, I believe, also gluten-free.

You can used canned cream corn, but it's best when you make it with homemade creamed corn:

I have a recipe from Australia - its Polenta and rosemary bread with fresh sweet corn! Its from a TV show call The Cook and The Chef. I made this not long ago, and found that it was best eated when toasted. Just chuck a bit of butter in a pan and throw the bread in, delicious!!
