No-Flour Skillet Cornbread Recipe Is Naturally Gluten-free & Irresistible Bread/Muffins Gluten-free

Who doesn't love a slab of hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven cornbread? This easy cornbread recipe doesn't use flour, so it is naturally gluten free. The cornbread has a crisp bottom that's created when the batter is poured into a hot skillet. You'll hear the sizzle and know the magic is already happening!

This gluten-free cornbread is made with stone-ground cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, eggs, buttermilk and honey for a little sweetness. The ingredients are combined until just moistened (this helps make a moister cornbread) and poured into a very hot cast iron skillet that's coated with coconut oil. Bake the cornbread until it's golden brown and just cooked through.

If you don't have a cast iron skillet you could use any ovenproof pan. You could also use a 9-inch square cake pan, but be sure to bake it a little longer because it will be thicker. The same thing goes if you use a larger or smaller cast iron skillet. Serve this homemade cornbread as a side dish with dinner, hot or at room temperature, with butter or more honey for drizzling. Store the leftovers in an airtight container.
