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

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

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.
