Recipe #1: Cornbread

This is perhaps getting ahead of myself, or out of order, but it was also very important to me to get recipes out there that can help someone who is just starting out or trying to maintain a low carb lifestyle.  My husband has no problem in eating rather plain, strict meals.  But I struggled with the cravings for bread & pasta.  This is a recipe for a cornbread facsimile that is good enough for my six year old to eat with enthusiasm.  Enjoy!  :-)


"Cornbread"

2   cups almond flour

¼ cup corn meal

3 T Splenda

2 t baking powder

1/3  cup water

4 eggs

1 stick butter melted and cooled slightly


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line 1-12 muffin pan with paper liners or grease an 8"x8" square pan with butter. 

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients.  Use a spoon to pulverize any baking powder clumps.  Add the water & eggs.  Mix until combined.  Then drizzle the melted butter into the batter while stirring to prevent the hot butter from cooking the raw eggs.

Pour into the muffin tin/pan.  Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15-20 minutes.  Serve with more butter if you like!
