How to Make Gluten Free Cornbread

Making cornbread is actually EXTREMELY easy. Traditional cornbread uses wheat containing flour. Remember that is one of the ingredients we discuss to avoid when going on a gluten-free diet. If you are new to the diet or need a refresher be sure to check out our post.

Instead of using the traditional flour our recipe uses a gluten-free flour blend that we link in the recipe card. This is our absolute favorite gluten-free flour blend that works FABULOUS for gluten-free cakes, cookies, biscuits and so much more.
