Are you looking for a way to still eat Cornbread? Try these Paleo Cornbread Muffins, that actually have no corn or grain at all and taste delicious.
Holidays call for Comfort Foods! It’s just a fact. When Thanksgiving comes around my mother and I love to cook. Last year we made all the food at our Thanksgiving dinner Primal. No one even realized that these Paleo Cornbread Muffins actually do NOT contain corn or any grain at all! They were such a hit, we made them for Christmas dinner and they will be on the menu this Thanksgiving too.
When holidays come around, I go all out. I totally believe there is a time and place for some “Paleo” treats, and holidays are one of them. There is no reason that you can’t eat a completely grain-free meal at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The best part is you won’t be feeling terrible all night long, and with a recipe like these you will feel like you are still indulging.
If you are one of those people who tolerate dairy well, these muffins are great with some raw cheddar cheese or grass-fed butter. I personally like to dip them in my Paleo Chili, or you can make a “turkey sandwich” with them. These treats come once or twice a year for us, I wouldn’t recommend to you to make them every week!

Monica these look amazing! I’m definitely going to make them for this Thanksgiving this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving of course :P)
Awesome haha! Let me know how they turn out 🙂
Hey, New follower here! Glad I found your blog and I’m loving these paleo recipes. I’m paleo and keto myself.
Hey Linda! Thanks for commenting and happy to connect with you too 🙂
Can stevia or date paste be substituted for the honey?
I have not tried either, but date paste would probably work.
These look amazing! Will these work in cornbread dressing the exact same as regular cornbread does? Do you have a “white bread” recipe I could use as well? I am new to Paleo and do not know what substitutions would work yet.
Oh! and can I use Almond Meal if that is what I have?
Thank you for taking the time to put all these recipes on the web.
Hey Jennifer! Yes these should work just as well in that recipe. I do not have a great white bread recipe yet. I know some people use Against All Grain’s recipe. And you cannot substitute almond flour for coconut unfortunately! : (
Thank you!
(Is there a good resource I can go to to see what ingredients can be swapped out?)
These were delicious. I have tried other paleo cornbreads and was left somewhat wanting. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you enjoyed it! We make it every year.
