I’ve been serving this Keto Cornbread 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 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 Keto Cornbread 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.
Here are some of my other Low-Carb Bread Recipes for you!
This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared this recipe in 2016.

I made this it was great.
Thanks Kay!
Any way to substitute eggs? I am allergic
Dolores, I haven’t tried that so not sure, but I do know that eggs are the most important ingredient in all of my bread recipes so I don’t think it will work.
Just made this, using a little bit of monkfruit sweetener, adding in italian seasoning & onion powder – it was delicious, thanks!
Lee, thanks for letting me know this is delicious!
Is there a place where carb and calorie count can be found for these breads? I’m so excited about the cornbread!! Thanks for posting!

Have a wonderful day!

I’d love to try this recipe but allergic to flax.Can I substitute maybe psyllium husk powder?
Bernadette, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
I made this subbing almond meal for the flax, it gives it a similar texture. I think psyllium would work as well.
Thanks Kaye!
How much is a little of each? I measure everything hehe
I’m new to keto so I have a lot to learn, however, I don’t understand why bread with no corn or corn meal is called cornbread.
Debby, thanks for your question. Since this is a grain-free, low-carb website this is my version of cornbread :-)
Brilliant addition to my “bread library” as a keto-ite. Bread is the one thing I miss the most these last 3 1/2 years of this lifestyle and this cornbread fills a niche for me that I thought unfillable! A juice/gravy/sauce sop! It tastes great. And most importantly, to me, it is absorbent and it maintains its integrity well enough to sop up the sauce in the bottom of the bowl when I have eaten the chili or whatever juicy entree I prepared. And it is quick and easy to make. Well done Elana. Thank you so much.
David, thanks for your truly wonderful comment and for introducing me to the term “keto-ite” I love it! I am so happy to hear this bread is a brilliant addition to your bread library :-)
HI E!!!!!
Baked this up as a flat bread!
Parchment paper a 10 1/2 X 15 sheet pan.
Spread dough out evenly and level.
350 degrees, 16 to 20 minutes.
My oven it was done at 17 minutes…keep an eye!
I let mine cool completely and was able to slice horizontally, for my greenswich!
Hope your holidays rock!!!!!

Hi N! I love all of your comments! Thanks for the great idea with this bread recipe and hope your holidays are incredible :-)
Hi Elana,
I noticed that the paleo bread is the same recipe but with two tablespoons of coconut flour. There is also a little more salt and 1 more tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. I was just wondering what difference the coconut flour makes?
Thanks
Trina
Trina, I didn’t realize that as I create each recipe totally separately and years apart :-)
A comment on buying flax seed and grinding yourself. I do this all the time. I buy at Whole Foods, store in mason jars in the refrigerator and grind a jar at a time. I do a ton of baking with flax, almond flour, etc. Works great. Thank you for your recipes, Elana. They helped me on my path to a better life with MS, Depression, Anxieties, etc. You were the first person I found when diagnosed and have followed you now for several years. Much success and best wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous 2019. :)
Cynthia, thanks so much for your flax meal tips. I am beyond happy to hear that my recipes have helped you on your path to a better life with MS, and I am so very lucky to be on this healing journey with you. ❤️
still can’t find out the # of carbs in grain free cornbread

Thanks for this wonderful recipe. As a Nutritionist I appreciate this recipe with all healthy ingredients. I will must try to home, I hope you will upload more recipes like this.
Thanks Mira!
Looks GREAT! My family and I are on a candida diet right now, so off all vinegars except ACV. Unfortunately, my daughter has an apple allergy, currently, so wondering if I can use lemon juice, or something else instead? Also, what is the purpose for the ACV? Thanks!
Anne, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
My cornbread didn’t look anything like yours. It wasn’t awful but not great. It seemed too thick from the beginning and the color was a grey brown. I followed recipe. Any idea what happened?
Lisa, thanks for your comment! This is exactly what happens when you use brown flaxmeal in place of the golden flaxmeal called for in the recipe :-)
Hello E!
Waiting to pull this CB out of the oven.
I used 3 tbsp of brown swerve and 2 tbsp of confectioners swerve for sweetness.
I rubbed the brown sugar in with my hands, added the confectioners eggs and ACV.
Mixed with hand held.
OK, verdict: this is the corny-ist non corn in the bread bread I have ever tasted.
BTW! Please do not change the title.
Warm regards,
Nancy Cherven
Nancy, it’s great to hear from you! I love your comments and am so happy to hear you are enjoying this bread❣️
HI E! This bread freezes well, thaws fast.
Enjoying it with Kite Hill cream cheese(almond based).
Next to try with Sopressata or organic Genoa Salami….delicioso!
