Is Cornbread Keto Friendly?
Traditional cornbread, made with sugar, corn flour, and wheat flour, is not keto-friendly because all the ingredients are too high in carbs.
But fortunately, with some adjustments to the ingredients, you can make a delicious keto cornbread that tastes exactly like the traditional one.
To make low carb cornbread, we’ll need corn extract to replicate the traditional corn flavor minus the carbs.
