Easy Keto Cornbread

When I think of Thanksgiving I always think about bread, but nowadays I mean keto bread!

I grew up in an Italian household and while we always celebrated with most of the traditional classic recipes, Italian bread always was preferred than any other.

In fact, I rarely remember a Thanksgiving that real cornbread, and definitely not sweet cornbread, was ever served. We always preferred soft Rolls or Italian Buns.

Once I met my husband that changed and I fell in love with the soft texture of that cornbread batter, but crisp exterior of this classic southern cornbread.

Being that we recently moved out of a city like neighborhood about 30 minutes away to the “woods” in a country setting, it is only fitting that this experience would bring abut many obstacles for my children.

However being that we have just moved into our country home, the inspired story I bring you today is all about getting my kids to learn how to de-clutter their stuff as they have had to unpack and organize their rooms.

Not an easy task if you have hoarders in the house. Apparently and I say this in love, all my kids and hubby are hoarders. Can’t seem to part with anything. Big problem for sure especially with the holiday of Christmas soon upon us!

I’ve been working on them as well as myself and making 3 piles: Giveaway/Donate, Trash, Keep.

So far we still have boxes in each bedroom. A little at a time while still “living” and doing day to day tasks is what it’s all about. One box at a time. One decision at a time.

One giant step for mom in helping her kids see what’s really important and what’s not and how you can bless others by giving away the things you no longer need or want.

I hope you too are inspired to de-clutter before the holidays!

FAQs for the Best Keto Cornbread

Do I have to use a cast-iron skillet?

No, you can use any dish you like but the cast iron holds heat the best and gives the crisp exterior that glass or metal pans will not provide.

Do I need to use sweet corn extract?

If you want a corn flavor, the extract is needed. I highly recommend buying this Sweet Corn Extract for this recipe and any time you are making a low carb recipe that needs the flavor of corn without the carbs.

Can I turn this recipe into keto cornbread muffins?

Yes, I’ve turned this cornbread into cranberry jalapeno cornbread muffins!

Can I swap the coconut milk?

You can sub the coconut milk with whatever milk you prefer. I’ve tried this with almond milk, coconut milk, cows milk, Half & Half and heavy cream.

What is the Nutritional Information for this allergy friendly cornbread?

Please scroll to the bottom of this blogpost to view the recipe card with nutrition info.

What do I serve as an entree for this side dish cornbread?

My No Bean Keto Chili is perfect with this recipe!

Should I add low carb sweetener?

It’s optional, but if you prefer sweet cornbread that yes add some. If you don’t like stevia, use whatever sweetener you prefer that would equal about 1/4 cup of sugar sweetness. Here’s my Sweetener Guide & Conversion Chart.

How do I store this savory cornbread?

Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days.

Keto Cornbread Stuffing

This recipe today is all about easy.

And while you will be surprised that actually no corn or cornmeal is present in this recipe, it does in fact taste just like southern-style cornbread. Soft center, crumbly and crispy around the edges.

Make this recipe, cut into cubes and let dry overnight to make my Apple Cornbread Stuffing or My Italian Style Stuffing.

I even used it for this Mexican Cornbread Casserole recipe! I also used it for this Tamale Pie! It’s Perfect for a low carb Thanksgiving Menu!

This Easy Mexican Cornbread Casserole is Keto, Low Carb, Gluten Free, Grain Free and one of the most comforting and satisfying meals you can make for your family!

Easy Cornbread Casserole

With a layer of cornbread as the base, a mixture of spices with organic grass fed ground beef and another layer of cheesy cornbread on top, this scrumptious meal is not only a family friendly one, but simple enough for any busy weeknight! It’s also easy to make ahead, freeze and thaw for when life gets crazy and you need dinner on the table fast.

Keto Cornbread

When I think of comfort foods, it always comes back to some form of bread for me. I am an Italian and grew up on carbs, so when I began eating low carb that was certainly something I missed. But it’s also made me work really hard to make over traditional recipes and turn them into low carb wonders, like my Grain Free Low Carb Cornbread.

Organic Grass-Fed Ground Beef is always on the menu for my family on a weekly basis. I love making comforting meals using ground beef, like my Bacon Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole, and my Bacon Cheeseburger Calzone made with my Fathead Low Carb Dough!

I’ve partnered with ButcherBox because I love their 100% organic meats. Butcher Box is a monthly subscription which works out to be less than $6.00 a meal. Each box comes with 8-11 pounds of meat which is about 20-28 meals. The best part is that it’s shipped right to your door and delivery is free.

You can choose to customize your box with whatever meats you prefer. I love having variety so the standard box was perfect for us. It came with 100% Grass Fed Ground Beef, Top Sirloin, New York Strip, Ribeye, Free Range Organic Chicken Breasts, Heritage Breed Pork Chops, and Bacon.

Right Now ButcherBox will be giving you 2 pounds of FREE Ground Beef for life on every order for the lifetime of your subscription!!

I highly recommend trying Butcherbox if you’re a busy family like me especially concerned about the meat you and your family are eating and that it doesn’t containing hormones. It’s not only affordable, it’s convenient too!
