Ingredients

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9 inch by 9 inch pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine gluten free flour, gluten free cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and sea salt. Stir together.
  • Then, add in remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Batter will be slightly thick.
  • Transfer batter to the greased baking dish.
  • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Finally, remove from oven. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use gluten free 1 to 1 flour with xantham gum in it.  I love King Arthur Flour or Bob's Red Mill.
  • Make sure cornmeal is certified gluten free.  Not all cornmeal is gluten free.
  • The batter will be a little thick.
  • If needed, replace buttermilk with regular milk.
  • Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not bake too long.
  • Serve warm or room temperature.  Great with butter on top.
  • This recipe can be made in a 9 inch cast iron skillet as well.  Grease with butter before adding batter.
  • To make this into cornbread muffins, grease muffin pan.  Bake for only 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individual squares for up to 1 month.
