❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Corn Bread

1. Can I use a different type of gluten free flour?

Yes, you can use any gluten free all purpose flour blend. I have had good results with blends that contain rice flour and tapioca starch. Just make sure it is a 1 to 1 substitute for wheat flour.

2. How do I store leftover corn bread?

Store leftover corn bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also refrigerate it for up to 5 days. To reheat, pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds or warm it in the oven.

3. Can I make this corn bread dairy free?

Yes, you can make it dairy free by using a dairy free milk like almond or oat milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar to make buttermilk. Use a neutral oil like avocado or canola oil instead of butter.

4. Why is my corn bread dry?

Dry corn bread is usually from overbaking or too much cornmeal. Make sure you check it at 20 minutes and do not overmix the batter. Using buttermilk also helps keep it moist.

5. Can I add ingredients like cheese or jalapenos?

Absolutely. You can fold in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or diced jalapenos into the batter before baking. This adds great flavor and makes it a perfect side for chili.
