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.

This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared this recipe in 2016.

Can’t wait to try this. One question: do you have to cook it in a cast iron skillet? Can you bake it in a round baking pan?
Deb, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
I’m so happy to have found this recipe. I make it every other week and take a slice to work every day as my snack–love it with goat butter. The second time around, I modified the recipe a little bit by only using half the salt and adding half a tablespoon of honey–so, so delicious. Making a fresh one tomorrow!
Thank you!

Beth, I’m happy to hear this is so delicious!
Hi Elena,
I have a question, where is the corn meal? I have been on keto all summer and haven’t had a piece of corn. It’s one of my favorite vegetables so when I saw this recipe I thought I’d get my corn fix. I’ve been wanting some corn and so I was disappointed to see this recipe didn’t even have corn as an ingredient. Or is this an error in the recipe.
Marie, thanks for your comment! This is a grain-free website with low-carb and keto recipes so no corn in anything here. This recipe is a keto version of cornbrerad, since corn is a high carbohydrate food best avoided on the Keto Diet.
Others have also mentioned this in the past, including me. She should rename the recipe to something appropriate, because calling it cornbread is deceptive, and it’s not right to deceive people. She could at call it “Mock Cornbread” or “Faux Cornbread” or “As Good As Cornbread” or something appropriate. But no fake “cornbread” tastes as good as real cornbread made with ALL cornmeal, no flour or sugar added. When I want cornbread, I want cornbread, not almond-flax bread. Call it what it is.
Sandy, thanks so much for sharing your opinion here!
