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!

Hey, New follower here! Glad I found your blog and I’m loving these paleo recipes. I’m paleo and keto myself.
Monica Bravo says
Hey Linda! Thanks for commenting and happy to connect with you too 🙂
Kelsey says
Can stevia or date paste be substituted for the honey?
Monica Bravo says
I have not tried either, but date paste would probably work.
Jennifer says
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.
Monica Bravo says
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! : (
Jennifer says
Thank you!
(Is there a good resource I can go to to see what ingredients can be swapped out?)
Elizabeth Wine says
Do you have any suggestions to make this nut free (I can’t use almond flour)
Hyde says
These were delicious. I have tried other paleo cornbreads and was left somewhat wanting. Thanks for sharing.
Monica Bravo says
I am glad you enjoyed it! We make it every year.
