This Paleo & Keto Cornbread is sweet and almost cake-like. Eat it plain, as a dessert with butter and sugar free maple syrup, or use it to make a killer stuffing!

*Quick side note: I’m super behind the times because I just set up my twitter account and posted my very first tweet!!! If you would like to follow me on twitter click HERE!!

I wasn’t planning on sharing any more recipes from my Keto Breads Cookbook, but I just couldn’t help myself!!! I’ve already shared my Keto Pumpkin Bread and several friends have shared other recipes from the book. I don’t want to give all my secrets away, but I just love you too much not to share at least one more!

coconut flour

You may be wondering if there’s any way this can taste like cornbread since there’s no corn in it . The answer is YES! When used correctly, coconut flour can taste surprisingly like cornmeal! Even though coconut flour is what gives this recipe it’s classic “cornbread” taste, if you’re not a huge fan of coconut flour, I have a version that uses an almond flour/coconut flour blend in my cookbook if you want to check it out 🙂

A word of caution: all coconut flour isn’t the same! Some coconut flours are much more absorbent than others. I recommend using either Bob’s Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills because these are 2 brands I know will work. If you need to use another brand, make sure it has a soft and fluffy texture, not gritty or grainy.

keto cornbread

This recipe is similar to the sweet, cake-like cornbread that I grew up on in the South. It can be  served as a side, as a dessert with butter or coconut oil and sugar free maple syrup (I love Lankanto Sugar Free Maple Syrup), or used to make stuffing!

If you want to use it to make stuffing, I love Lisa’s Stuffing Recipe from Cook Eat Paleo (pictured above). When making her recipe the only thing I do differently (besides replace her cornbread with my keto cornbread, lol) is that I like to add a teaspoon of rubbed sage. Other than that, I follow her recipe exactly and it’s one of our favorites!

Since stuffing is more of a savory dish and my cornbread is fairly sweet, I do sometimes slightly reduce the sweeetener in the cornbread. I recommend that you do not completely omit the sweetener though, or the cornbread will not taste right.

Here are the easy steps

Start by whisking together all the dry ingredients… coconut flour, erythritol or swerve, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients… the avocado oil, eggs, and non-dairy milk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. It may take about a minute or so and give your arm a good workout, but it will eventually smooth out 🙂

Pour the batter into a lightly greased skillet or pan. I used a 10″ cast iron skillet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 -35 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned and the center is set. Easy peasy 🙂

Keto Cornbread {Gluten Free & Paleo}

You will never guess that this sweet, cake-like cornbread is gluten free, nut free, Paleo, AND Keto! Eat it plain, as dessert, or use it to make a killer stuffing! 

*For grain free baking powder combine 1 part baking soda with 2 parts cream of tartar and 2 parts arrowroot, tapioca, or potato flour.

**I like my cornbread sweet. If you prefer more of a savory cornbread (especially if you are using it for stuffing) you can reduce the sugar by up to half but do not omit it.

***This cornbread can be stored in an airtight baggie 1 day at room temperature, 1-2 days in the fridge, or can be frozen.
