There is no need to buy an expensive gluten-free baking mix if you want to make gluten-free cornbread for your holiday spread or for your bowl of chili.  To make this cornbread less gritty,  I pulverized the cornmeal in the food processor- and thus, turned the cornmeal into more corn flour.

Here is what you need for this gluten-free coconut oil gluten-free cornbread recipe.  

Ingredients 

Cornmeal

Coconut oil – olive oil or vegetable oil will also work with this recipe.

Greek Yogurt

2 Eggs

Salt

Sugar

Baking Soda and Baking Powder

Milk. I used whole milk in this recipe.  However, that will also work if you prefer to use dairy-free milk such as almond milk.  

Equipment

8×8 baking dish

parchment paper

mixing bowl

whisk or hand mixer

toothpick

This cornbread did not last long.   I have been into using my food processor for baking lately.  It is easy to clean up.  Another trick is always to line your pan with parchment paper.  This way, your baked goods will pop out.

I love my little 8×8 pan.  I use it all the time.  It works better than some of my expensive ones. You can also bake this cornbread in a muffin tin.

This cornbread will achieve a medium grit.  Although there is no flour in this recipe putting the cornmeal around in the food processor gives it almost a flour- like texture. You can serve this cornbread warm or at room temperature.

You can store this cornbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.  Or you can store this cornbread in a freezer bag and store it in the freezer for up to three months.

Like I said before.  PERFECT. My favorite part was how crispy the outside turned out.   If you see a few white specks in this cornbread, I didn’t have enough yellow cornmeal, so I used some white cornmeal too.

This is different than traditional cornbread because it doesn’t call for flour. This homemade cornbread calls for just cornbread blended in the food processor.  using this ground cornmeal is much cheaper than a gluten-free flour blend.

Can you make this cornbread using a cast iron skillet?

Yes!  All you need to do is blend the cornmeal batter as the recipe says and place the batter in a cast iron skillet.  Bake it in the oven.
