If you enjoy cornbread with a meal but can’t (or choose not to) eat corn, then this Paleo Cornbread is the answer! Made with almond and coconut flours instead of cornmeal, this easy recipe is grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.
While the texture and flavor of this cornbread is not exactly the same as you get when using corn, it’s a great substitute. And since the recipe is yeast free (no rise time) and gets spread into a baking dish (no shaping or worrying about a loaf falling), it’s a pretty easy way to make a low-carb bread!
