Gluten-Free Sweet Jalapeño Cornbread made with coconut flour and fresh jalapeno is a sweet bread with a hint of spice that everyone will enjoy.
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.
These flavors played well together and took an average cornbread and elevated it, not only will gluten-free eaters love it but everyone will enjoy this recipe.
Enjoy! XOXO San

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.
My daughter just discovered she likes cornbread, and has always like spicy foods. Perfect combination!
Thanks Scott, enjoy! San
I am definitely going to try this. It looks delicious and I have a thing for jalapenos! Lately I’ve been adding them to whatever I can – so good in omelettes.
Thanks, I love any type of pepper! xo San
Jalepenos are awesome for sure! I have always liked them in cornbread, omelettes, and just about anything else.
Me too Pam! xo San
Yummy I need to try your recipe this week for dinner!
Now this one I definitely want to try! Holy cow does that sound awesome.
I am not a jalapeno fan, but I can see making this for a dinner party. So many people love cornbread and jalapenos-could be a hit! http://www.parentinghealthy.com/
Sounds delicious! The combo of the coconut flour and the jalapeños sounds like it would be fantastic! Can’t wait to try!
Jodie – it is awesome, you would love it. xo San

Will definitely have to try this! I love cornbread and I bet the jalapenos definitely add a nice kick!

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
I hope he will love it – xo San
You had me at Gluten free! Yummy! I love jalepeno cornbread especially with a good pot of chili. I will definitely be trying this and sharing.
Me too! xo San
Yummy! Sharing with all my GF friiends!
Thanks Francine. xo San
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. I’m working on a vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe for a friend and it’s been so tough but exciting to try to come up with recipes that fit her diet but taste great. Many kudos to you for this. Pinning now!
I seriously can’t wait to go over and look at the recipe and try them out. YUM!xo San
I saw the link to this and was just thinking how much my daughter would enjoy this recipe. Then I saw that it was gluten free- I will definitely be making this for our family soon!
YAY! So happy it will work for your family Pam. xo San
I absolutely love corn bread. I have never tried it with jalapenos.
Thanks Ellen! xo San
This looks great! Did you notice any coconut flavor? I would love to make it!
You do notice, one is the texture is a bit more grainy. Then you taste it but it isn’t overpowering. xo San
I’ve never made cornbread, looks delicious. Love the added pepper to, that would be so tasty!
Hopefully you can try it soon. xo San
I LOVE cooking with coconut flour so I have pinned this. Sounds like a great combination!
YAY! Me too, at least now I love to. I hadn’t really much until recently. xo San
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!
Hope you enjoy it too! xo San
That is really good looking cornbread, GF or not.
Agreed and it is. xo San
I ‘just’ may have to try this. I had some jalapeño corn bread at a restaurant not too long ago and thought I would dislike it, but I was surprised and ate it all!
You would love it. xo San
I do not like spicy but I have to tell you this looks wonderful!
We love cornbread in our house. I bet my husband and older boys would love the jalapenos in it, too.
I made a cornbread with Hatch green chiles and my husband loves it. I bet he would love this too, he loves jalapenos!
I will have to try this recipe the next time I make beans and rice. Sounds like a keeper!
Love the jalapeño addition!!! I make a mean cornbread but haven’t ever added anything
Thanks! xo San
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. 🙂
Totally worth it, remove the seeds and you will be good. xo San
OH nummy, nummy, nummy. I sure like the sound of this one.
Thanks Liz!
I love corn bread with jalapenos. I will have to try this.
Enjoy! xo San
Love this recipe, I’ve made it with red pepper flakes and chili but never with Jalapeño!
Oh I love the red pepper flake idea! xo San
I have got to try the base of this recipe for my gluten free family! Thank you!
You are welcome! xo San
Oooh, I love spicy food, so I know I’ll love this!

I don’t do any spicy, but I think I could add sweet peppers and no eggs. This looks amazing!
Thanks .xo San
Wow, that looks really good!!! What a great twist to cornbread. My hubs would devour this!

I now know what I am making my husband for his birthday! THIS! He doesn’t like cake. But he adores homemade from scratch cornbread and he is obsessed with jalapenos and anything spicy! Brilliant!
YAY! COme back and let me know what you think. xo San
I absolutely LOVE cornbread! Jalapenos, not so much..hehe This recipe looks tasty!

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.
Oh, I take this as a compliment. You and my husband would get along well he is from LA.xo San
THis jalapeño cornbread looks fantastic. I bet it would really compliment the sweet taste of the bread with a bit of spice
Thanks! xo San

I REALLY love corn bread! Stick some jalapenos in it and I’ll be eating it like chips in front of a movie! Yum!
I love your way of eating! xo San
Love jalapeno cornbread. Really must try it with the coconut flour
It is a nice change. xo San
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!
Just take out the seeds and this will reduce the heat a ton. xo San
I love cornbread. Would love to try your recipe!
Hope you can soon, it is so good. xo San
Looks beautiful! I bet it’s wonderful! Here in Tx, jalapeno cornbread is a staple. My mom even makes jalapeno cornbread dressing at Thanksgiving.
I love food in TX!!! xo San
I’m not a cornbread fan but I’ve never had it with jalapeno, so maybe I would like it that way!
Hope you can try it soon. xo San
This is a beautiful dish. I’d love to try spicy cornbread!
Thanks Krystal! xo San
