Ingredients

You'll only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this recipe, and you'll find them all easily at your local grocery store. Be sure to check the recipe card at the end of the post for exact quantities.

• Cornmeal: You can use either fine or medium grind depending on the texture you prefer for your cornbread. Select a certified gluten-free cornmeal to avoid cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains it may be exposed to during processing.
• Gluten-free flour blend: Use of this flour ensures that the cornbread is suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease like my niece Kyra. You want to choose flour blend that doesn't have wheat flour but has other ingredients added to to help the gluten-free flour work similarly to regular flour. Brands such as Bob's Red Mill, 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Flour or Cup4Cup Flour.
• Baking powder: Helps the cornbread rise and gives it the desired crumbly softness.
• Granulated sugar: Adjusting the amount of sweetener can give the cornbread a more traditional or sweeter taste, depending on your preference.
• Salt: Instead of regular table salt, opt for sea salt when making your gluten-free cornbread mix. Sea salt is less processed and contains trace minerals that can provide additional health benefits.

PRO TIP: You will need other ingredients similar to the ingredients added to Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix when you're ready to mix up your cornbread.
