You can pair this with chili, soup, or stew or add it as a delicious side for any keto meal! I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as we do!

Let’s talk about our ingredients!

Since corn and corn meal are high in carbs, we will add neither to our keto cornbread. But don’t worry! We combine some awesome ingredients to create a cornbread with amazing taste and texture, just minus the carbs. We start with almond flour, keto powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. These are our dry ingredients. This is not a sweet cornbread. If you’d like a sweeter one, you can always add a little more powdered sugar. To our dry ingredients, we add eggs, melted butter, and our secret ingredient, sweet corn extract! I’ve made keto cornbread without adding sweet corn extract and added a little butter extract instead. I found it delicious as well. The sweet corn extract does give our cornbread more corn flavor, so I’ll likely make my cornbread using it the majority of the time.

Do you have any tips for making this easy keto cornbread?

This is an incredibly easy dish to make, but there are a few things you can do to ensure yours turns out perfectly every time! First, I recommend lining your baking pan on the bottom and up the sides with parchment paper. This way, your cornbread won’t stick to your pan, and you can lift the entire cornbread out of the pan to easily cut it. This step also makes for easy clean up! Next, for best results, you’ll want to lightly beat your eggs before adding your dry ingredients to them. When you’ve combined all the cornbread ingredients, your mixture will be thick. When baking your cornbread, you’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. This cornbread will last a few days, covered, at room temperature. You can also refrigerate the cornbread and it will last a couple extra days.

How can I serve this easy keto cornbread?

When I think cornbread, one of the first things that comes to mind is serving it with chili, soups, and stews. But there are many other meals you can serve this with. It would pair nicely with everyday meals such as with burgers, keto sandwiches, lettuce wraps, and keto casseroles. You can serve this cornbread as a side with a nice steak, some grilled chicken, or even with your favorite seafood dish. For a breakfast or brunch option, this cornbread would work nicely with an egg casserole, omelet, or crustless quiche. If you want a light meal option, you could serve this cornbread alongside a soup and salad. Keto meatloaf, meatballs, or pulled pork or chicken are some other good choices to serve with this cornbread. Yum! This cornbread would also work for a snack, perhaps with a pat of butter, cinnamon butter, or with your favorite keto jelly!
