I’ve adapted this Gluten Free Cornbread Casserole recipe from an old favorite from Cooking Light. So old that I can’t find a link to it. Back in our pre-Celiac diagnosis days, I took this to a church barbecue with rave reviews. Enter gluten intolerance and the flour mix needed to be redone. Well, the mix is awesome – it rises nicely and browns on top with just the right amount of sugar. It’s actually the same mix I use for my cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving – also awesome if I don’t say so myself!
The recipe includes canned corn, creamed corn, and I’ve added some hot red cherry pepper and poblano pepper for taste and color. Add in some coconut yogurt to keep it dairy free and it makes a super moist, flavorful cornbread that will be the hit of any party! By the way, it’s great sliced in half horizontally, and toasted and buttered, too!
Next time you’re invited to a pot luck, bring this Gluten Free Cornbread Casserole along and just soak up the compliments!
