Keto Cornbread 🌽 Low-Carb & Gluten Free

[@Thurge]

Hi Dennis! I made this recipe (no corn extract though.) Then I used it to make "cornbread" stuffing for Thanksgiving. I took one batch of the pragmatic and put it in a food processor, I then added a diced small onion, 1 cup of diced celery, salt, pepper, sage, a hot Italian sausage, 4 tablespoons of butter, 2 eggs, and 2 cups of chicken broth. Mixed the ingredients together and put it in a baking pan. It was indistinguishable from regular cornbread stuffing/dressing. I also made cranberry sauce. 12 oz of cranberries, 3/4 cup water, 1 cup of monk fruit erythritol blend, orange zest, and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. OMG!

Im glad you found me! Thanks for the kind words! Im from the states as well! I definitely recommend you buy a scale with buttons from Amazon - shouldnt cost you more than $11. With low carb and keto recipes, ive found that the difference of a gram xan have a big impact on a recipe - which sometimes isnt easy to do correctly with measuring spoons.

I didn't have the same corn extract, it could be that Amoretti is better. I used Deiman, artificial food flavoring corn concentrate. I bought it some time ago, but this is the first time I've used it. I used the first recipe, the pragmatic, but added the flax meal from the foodie. I also added more allulose, I like my cornbread a little sweet. I didn't think my cast iron skillet would fit in my countertop oven, but it did. So pleased I could use the skillet for this! My real oven quit working a long time ago. This is an outstanding recipe. Now I can have beans and cornbread again, one of my all time favorite things. Even if I have to go light on the beans.

Ive had a few requests for that, so i will be investigating soon! My initial inclination is that we need to make the batter a little more liquid, but also add some binder to is so that it sticks. Corn dogs tend to be more spongy than cornbread, but that's my initial thoughts 😅

It's delightful to watch your videos (love the British-accented commentary, too)! If you have time for a couple of questions, I'd be grateful to have the answers. 1. What kind of food processor do you use? 2. Do you think that OOOFlavors' cornbread extract would be a viable substitute for the sweet corn extract? At a modestly priced $4.49, I'm hoping so--but if not, I'll splurge on the extract. Thanks for doing such a marvelous job of being as entertaining as you are creative, informative and innovative in the kitchen!

[@BlackTieKitchen]

My food processor is a Ninja all in one system (I have it linked on my site). It could be better if it had the little entryway you could add stuff to as the blades are spinning, but overall it works great. Im not sure about the OOOFlavors as Ive never tried them. Id suggest trying the recipe without the extract first and see what you think - if you really like it, imagine what it would taste like if it had the corn flavor then decide then, because it IS expensive 🤦‍♂️

Dennis since you seem to always answer my comment ill just ask here. What changes would you make to convert this into a corn dog breading? I've been using my own carbquick varient and adding the corn extract and its been good but just curious if you've given it a crack personally

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Hmm... Corndog bread would be interesting because youd need a way for it to stick. If you're dead set on wrapping a hotdog on a stick, I might consider adding some wheat gluten and maybe a binder like xanthan gum/guar gum. If not, you could possibly make something like corndog blocks - create the batter into a square pan and then rest the hot dogs inside, then cut once it's baked. Im not sure how this batter would do if fried, so I wont even guess, but you could maybe do corndog bites to try. Small bits of corndogs covered in the batter and deep fried. Just my initial two cents! But def something I will add to my list of things to try!

[@DrewIsARealBoy]

@@BlackTieKitchen so I've made a "batter" if you will like i mentioned with carbquick but changing it to better resemble a thicker cornbread consistency and just using the corn dog machine you can get off Amazon. It has 6 slots. You drop the dog in cover it with batter and cook it that way. I haven't tried to convert it into a type of batter like you are hinting at that one would use by dipping the dog and dropping into fryer. But I gotta be honest man.

Id agree for typical cornbread/muffins, BUT these already have so much fat and flavor, that adding more butter did nothing (I ate A LOT of these when testing). If youre not as strict with low-carb, then a little honey is an amazing topping for these 🤤

Great corn bread Sweet as all get out. so while i was making this i told my self 10tbs of Allulose man that's a lot. Don't get me wrong the corn bread was perfect in my opinion but i still had to check your measurement. 10tbs of Allulose is way more than 50g. However 10 tsp of Allulose is right on 50g. lol, no wonder mine was so perfectly sweet. Your a great guy and you have some great recipes but you might want to check for typos.

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Ah snap. Ill fix it

Sometimes when you stare at something for a long time you miss the obvious typos. The tbsp to tsp one gets me more than id like it to. It's like a sort of 'recipe dyslexia'

This is true. The one thing is, corn extract to me feels like it's be more difficult to create than a standard extract, say vanilla or orange, etc. Have you made corn extract? What was your experience?

Oh my word! When you pulled the cast iron pan out of the dishwasher, I almost passed out! Is that even possible to do? Also, it is permissible to allow bacon peices in the cornbread. In fact, back in the day we used all bacon fat and some bacon. We saved bacon fat on top of the stove in a coffee can. Most of us are still alive and kicking, even though who knows what kind of toxins we sucked up back then. Heat that pan up a bit with more bacon fat before you pour in the batter, just to ensure a little crust on the bottom of the cornbread. You're not from the south are you? I subscribed anyway. I wont hold that against you.😃

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Haha, putting the cast iron in the dishwasher is a complete no-no! Just a little something for the people that use cast iron 😂 Ive live in florida for some 25 years now, so I have a tinge of south in my. I keep my bacon grease in a ramekin next to the stove - but use it regularly 😂 the reason I dont add bacon bits is because I find bacon can overpower a lot of low carb breads and such as there's no flour to dampen a lot of those strong flavors! Glad youre subscribed! Hopefully I can entertain and inspire!

[@marywhite8517]

@@BlackTieKitchen thanks, mostly I'm kidding but yeah, we would throw bacon grease in everything, fried chicken, eggs, fried catfish and green beans. Times have changed.

So... Why didn't you just chop up bacon and add that to the muffin mix ?

I wanted a more subtle flavor! I find that non flour based baked goods take on the flavor of things much easier (e.g. bacon), so I wanted to have a bit of the bacon essence, but not have it overpower everything else. Also... I ate all the bacon 🤫😂

I'm from Atlanta. Cornbread ain't sweet. If it is sweet, you made cake, not cornbread. Jiffy ain't cornbread either. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@BlackTieKitchen]

It's always interesting to see the different viewpoints - similar to the fact that on the west coast, there's no such thing as 'sweet tea.' As an FYI for anyone who might wonder why we add a but if sweetness to this cornbread: corn naturally has some sweetness which almond flour lacks, so we need to make up for it. Now I'm curious if the reason for sweet vs un-sweet really came down to the species of corn 🤔

Why the sweetener anyway ? I never understood why they put sweetener in corn bread ! It’s not a cake !

[@BlackTieKitchen]

Corn has a specific sweetness, especially depending on the type of corn (e.g. sweet corn vs feed corn, etc). On low-carb/keto cornbread, we dont have that sweetness we would get from the cornmeal, so we have to add some sweetener. For real cornbread, I personally dont like sugar in my cornbread.

[@Hissage]
