Keto Mexican Cornbread. If you don’t think this keto Mexican Cornbread tastes as close to real cornbread as you can get-then I will eat my Mexican sombrero. It’s spicy, filling, healthy, & will fill your kitchen with the aromas reminiscent of a Mexican restaurant. The best thing about this recipe? No almond meal anywhere to be found. Perfectly paired with Firehouse Fresh Steak Chili
I think this may be my first “variegated paleo” dish. Variegated in that I subbed sour cream for vinegar and most paleo followers say no to dairy. Hey, I tried it with vinegar and to my taste it was awful and…I like and use a lot of vinegar.
One of the things (and there are many) since I started this website is the emailing and phone conversations I have had with people from all over the country. I have had the great pleasure in the last week of a running email exchange with health coach Jamie Koonce www.jamiekoonce.com who gave me a basic paleo coconut bread recipe and this is my very much added to and altered rendition. The basic recipe is delicious (and I will post it) but I did not care for the taste of the vinegar in it so I subbed it with sour cream. Jamie’s titles include: Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Traditional Oriental Medicine Practitioner and if I lived in or near AR I would try to meet her. Jamie is also available to clients everywhere by phone and Skype.

- I use a small 6” springform pan for this which is perfect. There is also a 6” removable bottom cake pan made by Fat Daddio’s and I really like this company. There are several others and it you don’t use removable bottom pans you are missing the boat. I have different sizes and use them for lots & lots of things.
- If you decide to split this puppy with a buddy, and maybe with the addition of sausage or minced ham, it would make a great & somewhat different breakfast. Yeah, and maybe even with a side of bacon.
- Double the recipe, use an 8” round pan and cut into 8 slices.
Newly diagnosed diabetic in the house so I’m learning how to bake all over again. I’m making chili for dinner tonight and of course I need cornbread. This website has become the first place I look when I need a recipe. I made it early just in case I had to make the real thing.
I dont have springform pans smaller than 9″ so I used an 8″ brownie pan. Obviously mine is thinner than it should be. My husband likes his cornbread sweet so I added 1T allulose.
I cut it into 9 pieces and 3 are gone already. The chili isn’t even done yet and he demolished 3 pieces. Obviously its good.
Thank you. Not just for this recipe but also for teaching why you use certain ingredients. Im slowly learning and may 1 day be able to experiment without a recipe.
Thank You Tara and so glad you and your husband approve. If using an 8″ square pan you can double the recipe and increase the baking time a little.
I feel like this recipe is missing an ingredient … carbalose flour maybe?? 1/4 cup coconut flour just seems like too small with 1/2 c water and 1/4 c sour cream. Sounds more like soup proportions.
Hi Pat,
If you have ever used and baked with Coconut Flour you realize it soaks up a lot of liquid so no, the recipe is as written and…delicious.
Thank you for your comment.
