Paleo Corn-Free Corn Bread
I want you to think really hard about what I’m about to ask you. If it's corn free cornbread- do you just call it bread? I am still going to call it corn free cornbread regardless but I just want everyone else to marinate on this thought.
I like to think that being paleo doesn’t hold me back when it comes to food. It’s 2020, there is a paleo alternative to almost everything, whether it’s complicated or not. Some alternatives are more obvious than others so sometimes you have to get a little creative to create a paleo alternative. But what is the alternative to corn? I have yet to find one but I have found that a mixture of almond flour, honey, and ghee taste exactly like cornbread. Who would’ve known??
One bite into these babies and let me tell you, I’ve missed cornbread. Cornbread tastes like nostalgia to me. I used to go to Boston Market with my dad every Saturday in the winters after going to the batting cages and the cornbread was my favorite part of the meal. Needless to say these muffins take me back and filled me with those memories.
You can enjoy these cornbread muffins with some chili, or bring them to your holiday gathering as an appetizer- either way I’m sure people will be shocked when you tell them they’re corn free. This recipe is bringing a paleo twist to a classic comfort food.
And if you don’t have ghee? Feel free to use butter, I have tested this and it’s just as delicious. The swap is one for one so just use ¼ cup melted butter instead of ¼ cup ghee.
If your muffin pan is dirty feel free to make this into regular cornbread in a bread or brownie pan. You’ll have to cook them for a longer period of time but cook until golden brown on top.
