Why It's Yummy
- Incredibly moist and buttery texture.
- Healthy gluten free cornbread recipe where most of the flour used in the recipe comes from corn which is naturally gluten free.
- Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Lightly honey-flavored cornbread taste is to die for! For a more savory option simply omit the honey or add less to the batter.
- Lasts long, especially if wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container and placed in the fridge. When ready, either thaw to room temperature or quickly reheat in the oven.
- Like it hot? Make these jalapeno cornbread muffins instead!
Instructions
Whisk together sugar, baking powder, cornflour, flour, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the oil, melted butter, honey, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Pour everything into a greased 8 or 9-inch round pan.
- Bake in the oven for 35 minutes at 350º F.
- Serve with butter and maple syrup or use as a side to chilis, stews, soups. Our favorite is this simple bean stew!
Tips
- This recipe also makes tasty gluten-free cornbread muffins. If you’re up for it, simply divide the batter equally into a greased 12 cup muffin tin, bake for 15 minutes, then enjoy!
- Don't over bake it. Like with most of baking, I recommend keeping an eye on the cornbread towards last 10 minutes. If a toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few breadcrumbs it is ready. This cornbread is soft and moist inside so the center should be still moist when baked.
Serving Suggestions
FAQ
Cornflour, in fact, is gluten-free. It is a yellow flour made from maize, (i.e. corn). Just like with any flour, it's important to look for labeled gluten-free cornflour whenever possible, due to cross-contamination risks.
Usually, cornbread is savory but depending on what you are serving it with you may add or remove honey/sugar in the recipe and just drizzle sweet syrup of choice on top when serving if needed.
