History of Cornbread

keto cornbread in cast iron or muffins history

Cornbread has a rich history.

According to Medium, cornbread was first introduced in America by the pre-European Native Americans when they used maize, ground into a meal and mixed with water and salt.

The Europeans were first to modify the recipe, reflecting the cooking style of their home nations. They added ingredients brought from overseas, like wheat.

Cornbread is an important part of southern culture, maybe because it was inexpensive to make.

I can remember my mom eating cornbread with red beans or crumbled up in a glass with buttermilk.

Ingredients of Keto Cornbread Muffins

clean ingredients are important for cornbread muffins

This recipe has all whole, clean ingredients. You can read more about why clean eating is important here.

Grass fed butter is best for your Keto Cornbread Muffins due to the nutrients and healthy fats. No margarine allowed here!

Margarine is full of unhealthy ingredients, including hydrogenated oils that are bad for your health.

Replace traditional white flour with almond flour. I prefer the Kirkland brand of almond flour due to the smoother texture. All my baked goods have a better consistency when I use it instead of other brands I have tested.

You can find it at Costco or from Amazon here.

Also make sure your baking soda is aluminum free like this one. Aluminum has been tied to cognitive issues such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

Yes, the type of salt you use matters too. I prefer Redmond Real Salt that you can find here.

Whenever possible, we get eggs from my brother-n-law's farm. We know the chickens are free-range and raised humanely. You can find free range chicken eggs in the grocery store also.

Sour cream takes the place of buttermilk. When buying sour cream, look at the ingredients to ensure they are clean. Also, read the food label to make sure you are getting the one with the least amount of carbs.

Next, the liquid monk fruit or stevia is to help add back sweetness lost by not using high carb and GMO corn like you do in traditional recipes.

And last but not least, here's the special key ingredient, Keto Cornbread Flavoring!

My world changed when I discovered this. Who knew?

If I want the cornbread right away and don't have the cornbread flavoring yet, use 1 tablespoons of almond flavor instead.
