    The best part about this recipe is that it’s so easy to make and bakes in just 30 minutes! Made with super simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry, this skillet cornbread recipe makes the fluffiest, perfectly sweet gluten free cornbread you’ve ever had.

    What you’ll need to make this Gluten Free Skillet Cornbread

    (links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)

    • unsalted butter
    • gluten free 1:1 flour
    • gluten free cornmeal
    • baking powder + baking soda
    • fine sea salt
    • eggs
    • pure maple syrup
    • sour cream
    • Mariani Original Walnutmilk

    What makes this cornbread so moist?

    • The secret ingredient for super moist cornbread is sour cream. I like to use full fat sour cream but low fat would also work. If you don’t have sour cream on hand, try substituting equal parts of full fat plain greek yogurt.

    I like to serve my cornbread warm with a big dollop of butter and a drizzle of honey. It’s just so dang ‘melt in your mouth’ good. You’ll never need another gluten free cornbread recipe after you’ve tried this one!

    Description

    Super moist and buttery gluten free skillet cornbread that’s naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup and made with just 10 simple ingredients. With crisp golden brown edges and the perfect tender crumb, this cornbread recipe will be your new go-to side dish for any meal.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    (links below are the gluten free & celiac safe products I used in this recipe)

    • 9 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 ½ cups gluten free 1:1 flour
    • 1 ½ cups gluten free cornmeal
    • 3 teaspoons baking powder
    • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 ¾ teaspoons fine sea salt
    • 3 eggs, room temperature
    • ½ cup pure maple syrup
    • ¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
    • ¾ cup Mariani Original Walnutmilk (or any milk you prefer), room temperature

    Instructions

    step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add butter to a 10-inch cast iron skillet and place in the oven. Allow the butter to melt until lightly browned, about 11 to 13 minutes. Keep an eye on the butter to make sure it doesn’t burn. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, then carefully swirl the melted butter to coat the edges of the skillet. Set aside.

    step 2

    While the butter melts, prepare the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.

    step 3

    In a separate medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggs and maple syrup. Add the sour cream and milk, whisk until well combined.

    step 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Pour the melted butter into the batter and stir until just combined.

    step 5

    Pour batter evenly into the skillet. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Remove skillet from oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

      What if I don’t have a skillet? Can I use something else?

        Hi Lindsay,

        This cornbread gets its crunchy golden crust when the batter is poured into the hot skillet. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, any thick baking dish will work. I would suggest a 9 x 9 inch ceramic baking dish if you have one. Let me know how it turns out!
