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.

Melty, gooey cheese will hold your cornbread together and give it a fantastic flavor. Shredded cheddar cheese is best for most cornbread recipes, but you can try experimenting with another variety.
Not always. A lot of keto breads are still made with wheat derivatives. A lot of gluten free breads contain as many carbs as gluten breads. I steer clear of bread altogether usually because I'm both keto and GF and it's hard to find a tasty keto GF anything.
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.
The ketogenic diet typically reduces total carbohydrate intake to less than 50 grams a day—less than the amount found in a medium plain bagel—and can be as low as 20 grams a day. Generally, popular ketogenic resources suggest an average of 70-80% fat from total daily calories, 5-10% carbohydrate, and 10-20% protein.
1Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). We recommend allowing cornbread batter to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before baking, so if you prefer, you can delay heating the oven until you make the batter. 2Melt the butter, and then set aside to cool slightly.
Keto bread is a low carb bread that is made with keto-friendly ingredients like almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, and eggs. These ingredients replace traditional bread ingredients that aren't conducive to a keto diet, like wheat and whole grains.
The keto diet, in a sense, stresses the body initially, which sparks a protective response much like exercise does to muscles. As a result, it reduces inflammation , oxidative stress , and sensitivity within the nervous system— all of which can help with managing chronic pain. Dr.

How many carbohydrates do you need? The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of total daily calories. So if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbs a day.

Sweet potatoes, being a naturally high-carb food, are unfortunately not keto-friendly. Nutritionists believe that the high carb content in sweet potatoes cannot easily fit into keto macros, the common ratio for which is 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.
A standard sourdough loaf is made from two simple ingredients, flour and water – or three, if you add salt. So standard sourdough isn't keto, because standard, all-purpose flour is made from grain (usually wheat), meaning it's high-carb . Therefore, anyone following a strict ketogenic diet should avoid it.
No, Brown Bread has over 50gms of carbs. Eating a brown bread put you out of ketogenic stage as it is recommended to keep the body under the number of 30gms of carbs during ketogenic diet.
