Gluten Free Cornbread
Gluten Free Cornbread
Yes, you are right! Gluten free cornbread. It’s a favorite around here. There is just something about the taste that makes me think of sweet smelling kitchens, winter snow(or rain), and laughter. It’s just so homey.
The funny thing is, gluten free cornbread is one of the more common mixes you can buy that turn out really well. But I wanted to take it a step further and make it from scratch because the prospect makes the super nerd inside of me shriek with joy!
Believe it or not, it’s fairly easy. All you need are a few basic components.
1 cup of corn meal (I’ve used corn grits as well, but it’s a different texture.)
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup millet flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt (a couple pinches works as well. Also you can substitute sea salt)
5 tablespoons honey (Decide for yourself if you need that much – I love it sweet. Too much and it will taste like cake though.)
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 dry cup rice or almond milk (When I say dry cup I mean the cup you used to measure the flour and yogurt, the stacking measuring cups.)
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
2 teaspoons butter – slightly melted or room temperature
Mix the dry ingredients. Start adding the wet ingredients. Pour into a small glass baking pan. Cook at 300 degrees. 45-60 minutes cooking time.
Note: I’ve noticed in moving around so much in the last few years that each oven is different. What is 300 in my oven might seem more like 350 or higher in yours. I advise with this recipe to check after 25 minutes, then after 20 minutes. Depending on how it looks it might need another 15 minutes. The closer you get to 60 minutes though check more often. Do not check too often before 25 or even 30 minutes or it won’t rise properly! Also, remember that if you are cooking in glass lower the oven temperature 25 degrees or it will burn! The oven temperature listed above has already been lowered 25 degrees!

Thanks for the tip a about lowering temps when using glass…
And thanks for sharing your journey, I never realized how little information there used to be out there for people going gluten-free. Thanks to blogs like yours, the path will be clearer and easier for those embracing a G-F lifestyle.
No problem! Since I made the mistake about the glass and lowering the temperature several times, I thought it was worth a mention.
