This cornbread recipe isn't very traditional... due to the absence of corn! The replacement is almond flour, which adds to the texture and slight sweetness. This is definitely worth trying - plus I've added bacon! Quite a lot of bacon, actually. Because, well, why not?

How to Make Low Carb Cornbread with Bacon

Add almond flour, baking powder, and granular low-carb sweetener (I used Lakanto) to a large bowl and stir well to combine. Add some beaten eggs and cooled melted butter.

Add some chopped cooked bacon, salt and black pepper. Mix well.

Spoon the mixture into a loaf pan lined with baking parchment (the overhang makes it really easy to remove after baking!).

Bake in a preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until cooked through.

Let cool slightly then remove from the pan and cut into eight squares. Serve while still warm with a little butter too, if you like!

This low carb cornbread would be perfect to serve with Cornish Hens or roast chicken!
