I love coming with new recipes and things for my friends and family to enjoy. Even more when they have diet restrictions, as it allows me to play a little bit, taking recipes that I love and converting them into something they can eat.

Normally, we don’t eat gluten-free but recently while making some meals for a friend of two of my dear friends, I have had to bake this way. It is fun and I love it. This recipe is one of my favorites and a keeper.

I used coconut flour adding a touch of sweetness, I balanced this out with the spiciness of the jalapeno.

Review: I loved this recipe so much, that after I made one for my friend, I made one for us too! The kids didn’t like that there were jalapenos in it and we were okay with that, as it left more for us.

  2. When my FIL moved in with us he told me a list of his favorite foods. Corn bread was at the top of the list, so I am always looking for yummy recipes. This sounds awesome

  3. Ah this looks so good! Reminds me of the cheddar jalapeno cornbread scones I made last month! I know EXACTLY what you mean about recipe testing for different diets.

Pinning now!

    1. You do notice, one is the texture is a bit more grainy. Then you taste it but it isn’t overpowering. xo San

  5. We just love cornbread in our house! I think my kids might think the jalapeños are too spicy. But that will just leave more for me and the hubby!

  6. This looks amazing. I love that you used coconut flour. I can’t imagine how spicy it might be with jalapenos. Seems like it would be worth a try. 🙂

  8. This sounds delicious! As a former southern belle (lol), I am kinda picky about my cornbread but you have peaked my interest with this coconut flour.

  9. the family is not BIG spice fans so I’d cut the amount of jalapeno’s down a bit –but this would make a great side dish for CHILI NIGHT!
