Keto cornbread that is just as good as the real thing, but grain free. Only 1 net carb per serving and perfect for chilli, soups, and stews.
Every true southerner loves cornbread! And most southerners have a preferred style of cornbread. Some folks like it dry and crumbly. Others like it moist. (I’m sorry for that word but sometimes you just gotta) I love my cornbread, slightly sweet and cake-y!
Since corn is obviously NOT part of a ketogenic diet, I’ve been on the search for the perfect low carb replica.
I’ve tried a couple of other grain free cornbread recipes but none of them really satisfied the craving. So, I experimented on my own and finally nailed one down that will be perfect this fall with soups, chilis, and bacon and eggs.
Is Cornbread Keto friendly?
The traditional cornbread is made from cornmeal which is basically corn flour. Cornmeal is NOT keto friendly, with 120g of net carbs per cup. Traditional cornbread also contains buttermilk, eggs and sugar. It is therefore very high in carbs which makes it not suitable for keto diet. But you can make cornbread keto friendly (and equally delicious!) if you follow my recipe.
Can I Use Almond Flour Instead of Cornmeal?
The best substitute for cornmeal is almond flour. It has a similar texture. It also adds a slightly nutty flavor to the cornbread which makes it delicious without changing up too many ingredients.
How to Make Cornbread in a Cast Iron Skillet?
I’ve recently come to LOVE baking this cornbread in a piping hot cast iron skillet. The cast iron skillet gives you the best crispy bottom. I use a small skillet, about 6 inches in diameter, when I bake my bread. but the secret (or maybe it’s not a secret) is to heat up your cast iron skillet in the oven as the oven comes to temperature. Pull it out when the oven is hot, add a pat of butter, your batter, and bake until golden brown. Mine takes about 20 minutes.
You should serve it with a big bowl of my 1st Place Chiliand eat your little low carb heart out!
Can I Make Keto Cornbread Muffins?
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can still make it using a simple 8″x8″ square dish but my favorite is to make keto cornbread as muffins. Follow the same recipe steps and bake your muffins at the same temperature of 400 degrees.
Variations on this Keto Cornbread Recipe
Making keto cornbread is very easy and doesn’t require any weird ingredients! You can play with this recipe and add in your favorite mix-ins. I’ve seen people add jalapeños, cheese, garlic, and ranch mix. There’s a reason this cornbread went viral on Instagram! Just sayin’…
How to store cornbread?
You can store keto cornbread in an air tight container for up to one week. It can also be frozen for 3 months. When you want to eat some simply remove it from the freezer, put it in the fridge overnight to thaw and microwave it until warm!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If using a cast iron skillet, place the well seasoned skillet in the oven while it heats up and remove when the oven is at temperature. If making muffins, like a muffin pan with 8 liners, sprayed with cooking spray.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and whisk until combined. It is okay if there are lumps.
Add the batter to either the hot skillet or the muffin tins.
For skillet cornbread, bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. For muffins, bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Notes
If you make this in a cast iron skillet, cut into 8 to 12 even slices upon cooling. The macros would be adjusted for 8 slices as follows: 224 cal | 20g F | 3.6g C | 1.9g Fi | 8.7g P
You can, maybe a slice or two here and there, but you ideally don't want to be eating too much of it. This is because a keto diet involves eating minimal carbs; less than 50g a day. However, a slice of bread contains around 20g of carbs, which is quite a chunk of your daily carbohydrate allocation.
Made with almond flour and just a hint of cornmeal, it can't possibly be exactly like the real thing. But it's delicious and an excellent substitute for those of us on a low-carb or keto diet.
Absolutely not. Keto and gluten-free are completely different from one another. Those who are forced or choose to remove gluten from their diet are eliminating a protein that is often found in grains.
A piece of bread might be 20 grams of carbohydrate, so sure, you could have some bread. But not that much. If you are on low-carb or keto, within the realms of being sensible and eating whole unprocessed foods, you might have 50-100 grams of carbs to play with, and you can choose where you want to get that from.
There is no need to avoid it completely from your diet. Limit your intake of bread to 25 percent of your plate and enjoy it with vegetables to avoid overconsumption. The secret to losing weight is consuming fewer calories than you utilize during the day.
A typical slice of cloud bread has zero carbs, 36 calories, and 2 grams each of fat and protein. Use it in place of English muffins, burger buns, sandwich bread, and more.
Yes, cauliflower can be used to create a low-carb or keto-friendly pizza crust.

It is high on the glycemic index, meaning that it can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels (8, 9). One 2014 study of 9,267 people found that eating two slices (120 grams) of white bread per day was linked to a 40% greater risk of becoming overweight or having obesity ( 10 ).
