The BEST Low Carb Cornbread Recipe - EPIC CORN BREAD BATTLE - Testing 3 Keto Cornbread Recipes

[@A10TOES]

My late hubby was born & raised in Jackson, MS and first time I made him cornbread from scratch he said, "Honey this cornbread is sweet", I replied, yep I put sugar on the top of it...well he ate that cornbread because the guy loved me so much, from then on out I made it for him w/o the sugar.....Cause I loved him.

I'm from Biloxi MS our cornbread is white cornmeal and buttermilk but now that I am eating Keto I tried the first recipe and it was delicious.

[@lisaspikes4291]

Awwww!

[@TashasBeautyCafe]

I'm a Mississippi Gal myself. I grew up without sugar in my cornbread. But I do put about 2T of sugar in my cornbread. You really can't taste it tho. I make my cornbread from scratch with some homemade soup.....Have Mercy!!!

[@Colorsalabama]

From southern Alabama here: My wife’s grandma’s corn bread recipe was corn meal and water, fried in bacon grease (in a cast iron skillet, of course), crisp on the outside, done on the inside. Served piping hot with butter. Great!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

YESSS!!! 🙂🙂

@@HighfalutinLowCarb so did you ever combine best of recipes and create your own keto cornbread recipe? Just wondering 😃 I'd like to see that video

[@thelen72]

The quality of your videos are on par with high production tv. For you to push them out 'almost' weekly is impressive. Thanks . You put joy ( I'm sure not only me) into my day.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

thelen72 Wow. Thank you. That's one of the best comments I've received. I'm just learning video production and KZbin in general, so I hope my videos get even better. I'm a "cord cutter" that dumped cable for streaming. The thing I missed most was cooking shows. I spent my early adult life watching Food Network and PBS cooking shows non-stop. Not the 2010's Food Network-style reality competition shows, but the old-school Food Network shows like Alton Brown and Mario Batali and Sarah Molton. After cutting the cord, I found I wasn't watching much "regular" tv, but I missed those half-hour shows of information and just COOKING. So, I decided to get off my fat butt and start making my own! I figured if *I* liked watching someone cook for a half hour, then maybe other folks did, too. Even if I never make the recipes, engrossing myself in low carb media keeps me focused on my goals of eating well and improving my health. So I started this channel. And comments like yours make it so worth while. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️😍🙏🙏

Hey Wes, I know this is an old video, but recently I used the technique you mentioned for corn bread (bacon grease in a hot cast iron skillet) and my mom loved it so much she told me to come here and tell you how she appreciates you. Thank you so much Wes, from my family to yours

[@hotbluflame2933]

“Sweet cornbread is called cake.” “Cornbread should be made in a cast iron skillet so the butter can fry the outside.” You, sir, are a true Southerner who was raised right. I’m definitely going to try that last recipe.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Ha! Thanks, hotbluflame! 😜👍

[@genkiferal7178]

southerners are fattest of all USA. beware of advice for losing weight from a fat southerner.

[@nancycurtis488]

PS: I always use a hot cast iron skillet and heat the bacon grease in it as the oven is preheating so the outside is nice and crispy...the next day my west Texas born husband of almost 39 years, eats some of the leftover cornbread in either sweet milk or buttermilk neither of which would I touch unless I was starving....and, again, to a recipe of cornbread batter to fill a 9” cast iron skillet, I only use about 2 Tbsps. of sugar and it has never been compared to cake.

Yes, we'll done!! Honest reporting, exploring!! ;) I have recently started trying keto and one of my first explorations was wraps. I told my dad all the recipes I tried were essentially crepes!! That eggy taste.. I enjoy eggs but guys come on.. egg on egg on egg.. not for me. Rather just have eggs. Haha!! Look forward to exploring more on your channel. I keep a kosher diet so the last recipe, which I knew would win, is one I can't make. BUT you really sped up my time to play with the best components of these and work with the combos I can have. This was my first time here. Am grateful for your work and look forward to sharing more!! Hatzlacha!! (Success!!)

[@almostoily7541]

Baby corn makes good grits. They are yellow grits instead of white, but it worked when I tried it. There's a recipe floating around for shrimp and baby corn cheese grits. Of course, you can use your favorite sauce for the shrimp. Also, I've made baby corn cornbread with pureed corn. It was good but very moist, almost wet inside. I saw someone else make it and they squeezed the water out after the corn was pureed. I haven't tried it yet but it looked like the right consistency for cornbread. I'm going to try that next time.

[@EmiiPie]

I was so happy when you said, "Southern cornbread is not sweet." I have told so many people over the years, but they seem to think Jiffy is the pinnacle of cornbread lol

[@TheKentuckylady717]

I found a much cheaper extract on Amazon for us broke folks! Its called One on One Flavors: Cornbread flavor concentrate! Its $9.99 for a 2oz bottle and only takes a few drops for a batch of keto cornbread.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thanks for sharing! They sent me a bottle to test shortly after I filmed this video and this reminds me that I must have stuck it in the cabinet and forgot about it! I’ll pull it out and give it a go! Certainly cheaper than the Amoretti!

[@PamelaM741]

That didn't come up when I bought mine, which was before I saw this video, in fact, many years before, because I was buying this stuff when it was being manufactured by another company. It was even more expensive then.

I know that this is a pretty old video ... but you can make the pork rinds and corn extract recipe and cook it in a larger cast iron skillet. I do it all the time and it turns out amazing! You get that traditional sizzle AND you get the "crust". It's amazing.

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Baby corns make the best cornbread used with almond flour with pork rinds. It hasn't developed the sugar/carb content, yet has the taste of corn. Don't forget to brown the crust in cast iron.

[@Dougr214]

I just made corn muffins. I used corn meal, almond flour, stevia,baking powder, coconut oil, egg, salt, one percent milk... they rose up well, hold together well and taste great.

[@gailneedham9930]

We always enjoy your comparisons. My folks were from the south and we never had cornbread with sugar in it. I enjoy your southern humor. It reminds me of all of my family that lived in the south. I even caught your "peep eye", lol. It's been years since I heard that phrase. I do like grinding up pork rinds and combining them with parmesan cheese and using them as bread crumbs or in place of crushed crackers in meatballs or even meatloaf. I will try them all, but I am sure I will enjoy the one with pork rinds if I can afford the extract. lol

[@WaitingForTheHook]

Re-do the almond flour one, take away the sweetener, add a little baby corn AND the corn flavoring.. i think you'll have a winner.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

That was definitely the direction I anticipated going, but I honestly much preferred the texture of the protein-powder version.

I want to try the 3rd one, that looks great! I tried Dennis's fake cornbread recipe on his Black Tie Kitchen channel, it was excellent. He also uses Amoretti. I have a less expensive corn flavoring that I used. It takes more, but it's still pretty good. Dennis's recipe uses a small amount of allulose, (not enough to make it sweet, but it helps keep it moist) and bakes it in a cast iron skillet. I was amazed that I have one that fits in my countertop oven. My real oven is broken, that's all I have for now. I like sweet corn bread, (call it cake, I don't care!) and added extra allulose, and it still barely tasted sweet to me. So you might like his.

[@pikachusmomify]

I cooked fluffy chix recipe and tripled it then baked it in a medium cast iron pan. I had a 1/2 cup pork rinds and substituted equal amounts oat fiber and almond flour for the rest. I didn’t have sour cream and used watered down cream cheese with apple cider vinegar. Other than that it tasted great except I should have blended the cream cheese a little more!

[@maggiesue4825]

The less extravagant items per recipe the better. I have spent SO much money on all these ingredients, and every time I turn around, a recipe calls for yet ANOTHER expensive ingredient. I'd love to see a recipe book that ONLY uses the basics, like the first two recipes you prepared. And yes, southern cornbread is NOT sweet! Great videos, by the way!!!

Thanks, Maggie Sue!! ❤️❤️

[@nativetexan53]

@frankschwartz7405 LOL... we're literally making separate meals for just me at this point, bc my carb threshold is so low. It's frustrating to eat differently than everyone else for every single meal, even if what I'm eating might be similar... it just takes so much time. I find myself eating the same darn thing over & over again, bc I can just batch/bulk cook it once a wk, portion it out, & reheat it without thought. There might not be a lot of variety each wk, but it's easier... I'm also kind of a creature of habit, so I'll get on a kick for one flavor profile & be able to eat it for several months b4 I'm sick of it, luckily enough. So far, I haven't burnt myself out of any of my favorites... 11 months & counting!

This is one of my favorite videos, Wesley! I love jalapeno corn bread as well.I like your idea of combining the best of each of these recipes! No sugar or coconut with chopped baby corn for texture, sweet corn extract for taste and pork rinds. Plus, I would try using that extract in all corn recipes.

[@stephaniejames1373]

I think you could make the recipe in a cast iron cornbread pan, either the one with stick shapes or the one that's divided into wedges. Then, if you wanted more than two pieces, you could expand the recipe to fit however many sticks or wedges you wanted.

Sugar simply overpowers the corn flavor of corn bread. I can remember my first wife getting a glass of iced tea and then pouring in sugar until the glass was at least one third sugar and then trying to stir it in. Kind of like tea flavored sugar. I still cringe today fifty years later. I haven't put sugar in tea or coffee since I was a kid. If you avoid sugar then foods start to taste like the food should taste.

You are 100% right! Cornbread was never supposed to be sweet! My family lived in So. California but lived on Nana's farm in West Texas. Nana would make her batter and place it in a hot cast iron skillet greased with bacon grease. When done she cut it into 10 pie wedges. It didn't rise too much so some of us would spread loads of butter on it. It was better if you cut it horizontally while hot and butter it. Butter soaked into the bread. Cornbread is to be accompanied buy fried chicken with chicken gravy, mashed potatoes, snap green beans or black eyed peas with salt pork and iced tea. The meal must be eaten on the back porch. We need to figure out how to to make TRUE cornbread!

You can throw in some diced yellow squash for color and to fool some people who like corn in theirs(such as my husband). Shoot, jazz it up even further and add a little diced jalapeno, onion, and shredded cheese.

I see we’re gonna get along just fine....

[@bibbiana4Lyfe]

Right! We don't do sweet muffins in Mississippi. Now sweet tea on the other hand...

[@PastorB1978]

Laurie G and if you are not keto add some creamed corn as well!

[@tylerhulen7072]

You are so right! Southern cornbread is not sweet and cast iron skillet in my family too! However, you can't tell my husband that. He loves his cornbread a little sweet. I'm from Tennessee and we never put sugar in our cornbread, but my husband grew up in Texas and his Mother put a little sugar in her cornbread and he loves it like that! I really enjoy watching you cook and your comments are hilarious! You do need your own show on the Food Channel! Keep the videos coming - love you!

[@sylviaspillett6468]

You definitely need to try Neisha Berry’s corn bread recipe. I bet using the corn flavoring would put it over the top. Ps her cornbread dressing recipe is great too

[@gloriamurray6842]

I like her recipe too.

[@judymurray191]

I didn’t like her recipe so I’ll try one of these next time.

[@spiralflash6169]

I'm a Yankee from NJ, and I don't like sweet corn bread either! Thanks for explaining the reason for the cast iron skillet. I always made it in a square pan, but have not tried it since going keto. BTW, my late husband used to say "corn bread should not be sweet or it would just be cake," and he was a Yankee (from NY) too! TBH, I always thought sweet corn bread must be a Southern thing, like sweet tea, so my bad! Can't wait to try this!!

[@suoppsdn9751]

Would love to see you one Food Network. I think I would watch it every time it came on. Thanks for your videos. Good you try all the low carb foods for us before we have to make the mistake. Thanks

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Thanks, Steve! I appreciate the support! Stay tuned!

[@danvaz72]

You are such a genuine person, I really appreciate how you enjoy what you are doing, God bless!

[@cakerbaker9965]

Ok, so after watching this I ordered the corn extract from Amoretti's site...came out to $20.20 incl. shipping, using the 35% coupon code you get for signing up to their newsletter. About 6 bucks less than Amazon's total!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

CakerBaker 99 Awesome! Let me know what you think about it! 🌽🌽🌽

[@GG-dq6dx]

My Granny made Cracklin' Bread which was cornbread with cracklin' stirred in. She did cut back on the fat because cracklings are pork rinds but not refined like the snack rinds.

[@ladynight7451]

OMG THANK YOU!!!! for saying cornbread doesn't have to be sweet, I thought I was the only one.

[@danielleyi8871]

Im really enjoying your videos. You're respectful, good speed, clean environment, humorous! Love the southern accent as well! :) Thanks!

[@lavernewebb7308]

I agree with you. If it tastes sweet, it is not that good in my opinion.

[@hortondlfn1994]

When I first moved to NYC from Mississippi, I remember being thrilled when i found that the bodega across the street from my workplace had individual servings of cornbread, wrapped and ready to go. I bought one for a snack and, when I bit into it, was horrified. It was sweet! GAG! What was worse, no matter where I went in the city, anyplace that served cornbread served the sweet stuff. Slap a bit of frosting on it with a small candle and it would have been perfect for a birthday party. I did find one restaurant that made it "Southern Style," after a while, so I was safe.

[@brendamartino760]

It's so nice to see a true Southerner talk about cornbread! Absolutely, no sugar in cornbread! And we always used an iron skillet with bacon grease. My Mammaw made the best cornbread and she put bacon grease in the cornbread and in the hot skillet. Her cornbread had the best crust!

[@peaceangie]

Im in love with your personality! Great content. Made me happy to see a notification from you! Im a new subbie :) Next time how about keto donut comparisons? Bacon maple...cream filled...chocolate? Eh just a thought! 😘😘

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

[@mrssuazossavings3663]

You are fun to watch! Glad I watched your video!! Def going to try the last recipe!!

[@ksaldivar89]

Subscribed just because you knew cornbred is better when made in a hot cast iron skillet !

[@dhayes1541]

You are my go to site when I want to find the best recipe for different foods. Major thanks.

[@wendieclements6867]

"Yankee cornbread! 😂 😂 😂! That's what my grandma calls it too. She does true southern (Arkansas) and fresh buttermilk! Yum!

[@julieklie2344]

Preach it!

[@downlow0075]

"One on one" flavorings has ALOT of flavors a they're not so spendy.

[@PaleRider54]

Same here. Like he says, if it's sweet, it's cake. Yuck!

[@Justme77400]

You southerners stick to cornbread. We yankees will handle the pizza and Italian bread. 😀

[@InLawsAttic]

OH thank you!! I needed this- 3 years on keto, and oh I missed my cornbread. Bless you. Sweet? Gross. Lol. Going to try a bit of mixing the ideas because need to avoid the whey isolate. Thank you !

[@annd.h.1336]

I would take certain things from each and make up my own

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Ann Healey That was certainly intention, as I said in the video. But then that last one was soooo good! LOL If you decide to mix and match, let me know how it turns out, Ann!

[@sarahreynolds6595]

You are so right I never taste sweet corn bread until I move to the city.southern people don't uses sugar

[@rogermurphy2914]

Sorry but I am from Texas and everybody I know enjoys sweet cornbread including myself. I also like the unsweetened as well. Love ur video :). April

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

No beans in your chili AND sugar in your cornbread?? No wonder folks say Texas ain’t part of the South! LOL. (I kid, I kid!) 😜 Thanks for watching and commenting, April!

[@cgg2961]

I like the comparison of different recipes / taste tests.... Nice

[@sarahtherese19]

Just hearing you talk about your family’s cornbread is divine...you need to do a mama and daddy’s recipe - you know, for treat meals 😂

[@oakhillchurchepc6358]

Love your videos! You have the best recipes and great teaching!!!! Thank you!

[@AtHomeWithMisty]

Thank you! People look at me like I have 2 heads when I say I don't care for sweet cornbread. Good cornbread needs bacon grease and a lot of it!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

AtHomeWithMisty Oh my gosh! Big fan and subscriber here! Love your channel. And yes - NO. SWEET. CORNBREAD, plz! Thanks for watching and commenting, Misty! ❤️❤️

[@AtHomeWithMisty]

Really?!? Oh my word, I'm flattered :) I had to make my low carb biscuit recipe today after watching your battle video! Can you figure out a way to make beans low carb so we can enjoy them with some corn bread and fried potatoes? lol Ugh. carbs. Why are they so good? Keep up the great work :)

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Don’t you get me started on beans and cornbread! LOL 😍

[@jackiemcneil8610]

Yep, if/when I need a "cheat meal" that's what it is...a bowl of pinto beans and cornbread! LOL

[@teutonic7113]

I think I'd do the almond flour recipe with baby corn, corn extract and bacon grease. Good one!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

+Shannon Blankenship Yes, ma'am! Thats my next trial! :-)

[@pamwaldron2566]

Doesn't adding corn sort of defeat the low carb diet? I thought corn is a high carb grain and can spike blood sugar? Or is there a way to prevent the spike?

[@laquettarobinson3168]

Pam Waldron it’s baby corn in the can so dosent have nearly as many carbs

[@itzDave09]

Thanks for this. Been looking for low carb Cornbread recipes!

[@debcar8024]

Amen brother about the sweet cornbread.. Sugar doesn't belong in cornbread.. Love the video!! I just subscribed and I'm excited to see what is coming!!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

+debcar Wooot! Thanks so much!!

[@veronicastewart1112]

Yes indeed, I hear you about the cast iron skillet. That's the way my mom and I used to do it.

[@annette2687]

Wow, thank you! I made the one from Fluffy chicks as soon as my corn flavor arrived from Amazon and followed the recipe and just added 2 drops of butter extract. Not only did me and hubby love it, our 8 yr old grandson asked for more! Thanks again, you rock. And this Yankee agrees with you, cornbread is NOT sweet! LOL. Have a good holiday season.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

That’s great to hear, Annette! Glad it was Grandson Approved! 😜👍❤️

[@susiegibbs7133]

Yay! So glad you liked it!!!

[@susiegibbs7133]

@@HighfalutinLowCarb Thank you for choosing us to test out!

[@dmoore519]

Crushed pork rinds seem like a crazy ingredient but I recently tried a "carnivore pancake" from seriousketo and they were amazing. I'm definitely going to try these. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@kristinclarke7063]

Have you tried fried chicken with the protein isolate? OMG best fried chicken i have ever had. Marinate the chicken pieces in pickle juice over night and you have a winner winner chicken dinner.

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Kristin Clarke SHADANG! Yes, I can't wait to try the fried chicken. I also see it often used for fried seafood and fish as well! But I'm MORE intrigued with your recommendation of a pickle juice brine! WOW! 😍😍😍

[@kristinclarke7063]

Highfalutin' Low Carb ive never had juicer chicken! :) i want to try calamari with the isolate too. I miss fried calamari!

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

Kristin Clarke The calamari is EXACTLY the recipe I'm referring to! Let me ask: on the chicken, do you wet-dredge and then dry-dredge, or do you make a batter?

[@kristinclarke7063]

Highfalutin' Low Carb i took the pieces out of the brine and then beat an egg with s&p and garlic powder and poured it over to coat. Then coated with the isolate (which i also seasoned) the main thing i found was it needs to be fried pretty quick or the powder kinda disolves. When that happened i just sprinkled a bit more isolate on it and shallow fried with lard in cast iron skillet like regular fried chicken. K now i want that for dinner tonight LOL maybe with some cornbread ;)

[@HighfalutinLowCarb]

+Kristin Clarke Haha! I'll be over tonight for dinner! I prefer thighs and drumsticks! ;-)

[@daylight8208]

Great channel! Just found it today and it's entertaining and informative.

[@LadyLucky1979]

I’m southern and both of my grandmothers are southern. We most certainly DO put sweetener in our cornbread. 😃👍
