Print Recipe

Gluten Free Cornbread is moist with a delicious mild sweetness. 

Great for individuals who love cornbread but must avoid gluten for whatever reason. 

Easy to make with Gluten Free Whole Grain Corn Flour (Stone Ground) and seven more ingredients that do not contain gluten.

 

WHAT IS GLUTEN?

Gluten is a group of proteins found in certain grains. It helps food maintain its shape by providing elasticity and moisture. However, many individuals must avoid it for medical reasons.

Always read the product’s label to make sure Gluten Free is written on it.  The label confirms the product was tested and confirmed Gluten Free in a quality control laboratory.  Read more here. 

 

THE CORRECT SPELLING

Is the correct spelling gluten free or gluten-free?  According to my google research, it can be spelled with or without a dash between both words.  

 

THE DRY INGREDIENTS

The star ingredient in this recipe is Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain Corn Flour.

NOT SPONSORED:  I have not been paid to promote any ingredient mentioned.  Delighted to share what I purchased and used to make this recipe.  All comments are my own.

 

Although baking powder is naturally gluten free, most brands do not have it printed on the label. It may be processed in a facility that processes food with gluten.   Read the label before purchasing.

Baking Powder Label

I purchased the pictured brand with GLUTEN FREE printed in red, bold letters above the ingredients in red letters. 

 

HELPFUL TIP:  Test baking powder and/or baking soda before using if both have been in your pantry for a long time.  Get my details by clicking on THE LEAVEN TEST.

 

WET INGREDIENTS

Additional ingredients include buttermilk, two eggs, unsalted butter, and vegetable oil to grease an 8″ skillet (or other baking dish).

Gluten Free Cornbread

Both eggs and butter are naturally gluten free.  However, to make sure you’re getting an FDA certified Gluten Free product, carefully read the labels before purchasing.

 

IS BUTTERMILK AND VEGETABLE OIL GLUTEN FREE?    

Buttermilk is naturally gluten free.  However, only a few brands print Gluten Free on the label.

Buttermilk from Marburger Farm Dairy has GLUTEN FREE printed on the label.  

Vegetable oil made from soybean or canola oil is naturally gluten free. Always read the label before purchasing.  

No Stick Spray Vegetable Oil

Crisco Pure Vegetable Oil and the Original No Stick Spray are both Gluten Free according to Crisco’s website.  

 

PREHEAT OIL IN SKILLET

The secret to a thoroughly baked crust is to preheat oil in an 8″ skillet until sizzling hot (not smoking). 

Gluten Free Cornbread

 Never pour batter into a cold skillet.  Results will be mushy, oily bottom and side crusts.

After removing cornbread from oven, allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
