Recipe for Gluten Free Cornbread Skillet
I’ve been serving this low-carb cornbread recipe at our Thanksgiving dinner for years and it’s quite a hit.

When I serve it to them, I melt butter and honey together and drizzle it over the warm cornbread straight out of the oven.
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.
Now I make this special low carb keto cornbread recipe.
Corn in Cornbread
And the secret is out –there’s no corn in my cornbread. Why? I can’t digest corn.
My corn free cornbread is a bit of an oxymoron, but once you taste it, you won’t know the difference!
How to Make a 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.

Laurena says
Omgoodness! Once, again, YOU are my hero! Being raised by a SOUTHERN Granny, corn bread and ,especially this season, CORN BREAD DRESSING (aka STUFFING), are foods I’ve REALLY missed on my wellness journey! Can barely wait to try this! :-*
Elana says
Thanks Laurena!
Tiffany says
This looks amazing! Thought for sure there would be coconut flour in it for the texture. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for all of the great recipes.
Elana says
You’re welcome Tiffany! I find I can get amazing texture in my baked goods recipes without having to combine a lot of different types of flours :-)
Lori says
Sounds yummy. Is there another way to make this if you don’t have a cast iron skillet?
Elana says
Lori, I haven’t tried it, so not sure. If I was going to experiment I would start with an 8×8-inch baking dish. If you do please let us know how it goes :-)
Kate Horrell says
What else can I use besides a cast iron skillet, I don’t have one. Thanks.. love ur recipes.
Elana says
Thanks Kate! I haven’t tried it, so not sure. If I was going to experiment I would start with an 8×8-inch baking dish :-)
Melissa says
Just in time for Thanksgiving! ;-) Thank you for sharing, this sounds wonderful! I’ll be making my own food to take on our grain-filled T-giving rounds and this is going in the mix!!
Elana says
Thanks Melissa!
genevieve byrens says
i am new to your site and i have checked this recipe over and over , thinking you left the cornmeal out , accidentally . yes, i agree with Sandra , you should rename it .
Elana says
Thanks for your thoughtful comment Genevieve! No grains, including corn on this site since I launched it in 2006. It does take some getting used to :-)
Andrea says
I wonder if you could make the batter into balls and deep fry them. They would be like hushpuppies.
Elana says
Andrea, that sounds amazing. If you do experiment please let us know if it works :-)
Amy says
Yes, “cornbread” without the insulin raising, usually gmo, corn! I make an almond flour herb bread for my stuffing that is similar to this, and I look forward to the addition of your cornbread at our Thanksgiving dinner. I am thankful for you sharing your recipe and for the ease of your instructions. ?
Elana says
Amy, easy is the name of the game around here :-)
Joan says
I can’t wait to try this. I have tried several versions with coconut flour that were supposed to taste like cornbread…but alas, they tasted like coconut bread. This one sounds much more realistic. Thank you so much!
Elana says
You’re welcome Joan!
Wendy says
I do not have a cast iron skillet. Can I use a glass or metal pan?
Elana says
Wendy, I haven’t tried that, so not sure. If I was going to experiment I would start with an 8×8-inch baking dish :-)
