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

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
