This is an amazing recipe. I have made this gluten free with buckwheat two times now, and this is my favorite cornbread recipe to date. Thanks Liv! i also recommend using a sugar free sweetener like erythritol to make this sugar-free, if lower calories or carbs matters to you!
It has been so long since I’ve had cornbread and I am so thankful for your recipe! I ended up using 1 cup of gf baking flour in place of the all purpose. I used the 1 tsp of baking soda as recommended, plus 1/4 cup maple syrup instead of the granulated sugar. I followed the recipe otherwise.
For anyone else thinking of making this…DO IT. The melted butter really made these taste so luscious so don’t skip that. I’ve found my new go-to cornbread recipe!

I tried this recipe with quinoa flour instead of buckwheat flour for a gluten-free option and it turned out amazing. Although it was a bit crumbly, it was not chalky at all. Definitely the best gluten-free corn bread i’ve had! The sugar to salt ratio was also perfect. Don’t skip out on the maple syrup; it adds an incredible flavour.
Could I sub with oat flour?
I haven’t tried it myself!
Making this today!
Liv I make this all of the time and I love it so much!!! The corn bread goes so well with my vegan red beans and rice❤️
