Keto Cornbread Recipes
I loved making cornbread when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s
Back then we used a mix, and smothered our cornbread in margarine. It was packed with sugar and one of my favorite treats.

Corn in Cornbread

How to Store Cornbread
I often make this Gluten Free Cornbread Skillet a day ahead of time.
After it bakes, I let it cool, then remove from the skillet.
To store, I wrap the cornbread in a paper towel, then zip it into a plastic bag and place it in the fridge.
It will keep for up to four days when stored this way.
Cornbread Almond Flour
The almond flour in this cornbread gives it an incredible flavor profile.
It makes me so happy to eat healthy keto cornbread and serve it to my family!
Is Cornbread Gluten Free
Wondering if cornbread is gluten free?
Made without wheat flour, my cornbread is 100% gluten free.
Cornbread Goes With?
Cornbread goes with so many delicious toppings.
We love it with my Gravy Recipe for Biscuits, or dipped in my incredible 3-Ingredient Cranberry Cherry Relish.
Here are some other classics you can try smothering it in:
- Buttermilk
- Honey
- Jalapeños
Corn Bread Sweet
If you’d like cornbread that’s sweet, but still keto, you can add one-eighth teaspoon of stevia to the batter.
I’ve made it that way and it’s fantastic.
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 need to be adjusted accordingly.
Gluten Free Cornbread in Cast Iron
This is a fantastic gluten free cornbread recipe.
Baking it in the cast iron skillet and serving it hot table side really takes it to the next level.
Bonus? Fewer dishes to clean equals a win-win for me.

Pam Gerhardt says
Will a blender be just as efficient since I do not have a food processor? Or is there a reason why you don’t use a blender?
Elana says
Pam I haven’t tried that but I don’t think the batter is wet enough for a blender.
Suzanne says
What makes it taste like real corn bread or is it just the texture?
Elana says
Suzanne, it just tastes like real cornbread to me :-)
Agota says
Hi Elena, Thank you! A quick question; can this cornbread be made with “vegan eggs”? (Usually, we use ground flax meal in water but here it would mean a lot of flaxseeds in the recipe). A vegan version would be so lovely :)
Elana says
Agota, I haven’t tried that with this recipe, but over the last twenty years have not had any success with vegan eggs in my recipes :-)
Bracha says
I don’t have a cast iron skillet. Will this recipe work in a 9 inch cake pan?
Elana says
Bracha, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
L says
How can this be made with less eggs?
Elana says
L, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)

Kate says
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!
Elana says
Kate, thanks for letting me know this is the best low-carb cornbread recipe you’ve found! We love it too :-)
Sophia says
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.
Elana says
Sophia, thanks for letting me know this is soooo good! We love it too :-)
Deb says
How about a mixer? I don’t have a processor. Thanks
Sharon says
Would this stay fresh a little longer if stored in the fridge?
Elana says
Sharon, yes that’s what I do :-)
