I’ve been serving this Low-Carb Cornbread Recipe at our Thanksgiving dinner for years and it’s quite a hit. We love it smothered in my Paleo Gravy, or dipped in my incredible 3-Ingredient Cranberry Cherry Relish. The boys enjoy it year-round when I melt butter and honey together and drizzle it over the warm cornbread straight out of the oven.
I loved making cornbread when I was growing up. Back then we used a mix, and smothered the cornbread in margarine, rather than wholesome butter. But that was the 1970’s when everything was low-fat, at least in our house. Now we know better and I make this grain-free, paleo cornbread which is totally corn-free!
I have my Keto Diet Recipes page with loads of amazing low-carb high-fat (LCHF) dishes, and we follow a healthy whole food diet. We feast on meat, vegetables, fruit, and simple yet decadent dishes like this Keto Cornbread which, like every single recipe on my website, is 100% grain-free!
This Low-Carb Keto Cornbread is made with 6 ingredients in total. This recipe is so dang easy it won’t bog you down when you’re cooking your Thanksgiving dinner. I often make it a day ahead of time and remove it from the skillet, wrap it in a paper towel, then zip it into a plastic bag to store in the fridge. It will keep for up to 4 days when stored this way.
If you would like to sweeten this Low-Carb Cornbread Recipe you can add ⅛ teaspoon of stevia. I’ve made it that way and it turns out quite well. I think it would also be amazing with a tablespoon or two of honey added to the recipe, but I haven’t tried that so not sure if other ingredients will need to be adjusted accordingly.

This Low-Carb Cornbread Recipe is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared this recipe in 2016.

I don’t have a cast iron skillet. Will this recipe work in a 9 inch cake pan?
Bracha, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
How can this be made with less eggs?
L, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)

Always so good, Elana-best low carb cornbread recipe I’ve found. Had to make do in our holiday house without flax meal. For those asking, you could substitute a heaping TBSP ghee or coconut oil but it ends up being a little more dense. Everyone still gobbled it up, as always! Thanks for the delicious recipes-so grateful!
Kate, thanks for letting me know this is the best low-carb cornbread recipe you’ve found! We love it too :-)
This was soooo good! And so easy! It was a hit at Thanksgiving and my family just started calling it “Not Cornbread”, lol. TIP: The food processor definitely makes the end product much lighter and fluffier. Without the food processor, the bread is a bit grainy in texture. Rustic, but still delicious.
Sophia, thanks for letting me know this is soooo good! We love it too :-)
Would this stay fresh a little longer if stored in the fridge?
Sharon, yes that’s what I do :-)
How many carbs in the metro cornbread?

I have a question. I’m a southern girl and thinking ahead to the holidays. Every year I make cornbread dressing to serve with my turkey. Do you think I could sub your almond flour cornbread for traditional cornbread successfully?
Grace, thanks so much for your comment. Some other readers have left comments on this post that they’ve tried it with good success. Scroll through the comments for more info :-)
Is the flax seed flour necessary? I have flaxseeds, but not the flour. Can I just omit it?
Eve, thanks so much for your question, all the ingredients in my recipes are necessary :-)
Is there an alternative to almond flour, I cook for nut free, gluten free and lactose intolerant ?
Doreen, I haven’t tried that so not sure. Here’s a link to my nut-free recipes for you:
