Easy Keto Cornbread
Cornbread is a tasty bread traditionally made with cornmeal. It is a tasty side that can be served with chili, pulled pork, and even made into cornbread low-carb and keto stuffing.
However, since cornmeal is moderately high on the glycemic index and high is carbohydrates we will making our cornbread with coconut flour and a little almond flour.
Coconut flour lets our keto cornbread retain some of that sweeter flavor found in traditional cornbread. A little almond flour gives our cornbread that course cornbread texture.

How To Make Keto Cornbread

To make this keto cornbread you will need to start by mixing your dry and wet ingredients in two separate bowls. While I am a fan of just mixing everything together in one bowl, sometimes that shortcut can change the texture of what you are making.
In the case of this cornbread mixing your dry and wet ingredients separately then combining them together will not only help your cornbread stick together, but it will also result in a fluffy and moist cornbread without eggs clumps.
Once your batter is mixed together you can then cook your cornbread in the oven uncovered at 180C/350F for 20-25 minutes.
Your cornbread can be cooked in a greased square baking pan or a cast-iron skillet.
I love cooking cornbread in a cast-iron skillet because it results in crispy golden edges. Yum!
Note: If you are allergic to nuts or just don't like almond flour you can leave it out completely and still have a great keto cornbread.

Many keto cornbread recipes add a few drops of sweet corn extract to their batter to make the batter taste more cornbread made with cornmeal.
Depending on where you live sweet corn extract can be pricey or need to be ordered online. Because of this, I chose to make this recipe without it, but you have access to sweet corn extract feel free to add a few drops to flavor your cornbread.

Wouldn't be possible to use just almond flour, skipping coconut flour, obviously adjusting the amount of eggs consequently (and maybe adding a pinch of xanthan gum if the batter doesn't result thick enought)?

That would be another recipe entirely. You, unfortunately, can't make a direct substitution for a predominantly coconut flour recipe to almond flour. This Ultimate Guide To Low-Carb Flours may be helpful to read.
