Healthy Cornbread

Substitutions and variations

Gluten-free flour substitutions: instead of using a gluten-free flour blend, you could also use any other type of gluten-free flour such as rice flour, chickpea flour, or cassava flour. Depending on what you use, make sure to check online conversion charts. Not all gluten-free flours convert 1 to 1.

Coconut milk substitutions: instead of using coconut milk, you can use any other type of dairy-free milk.

Butter-flavoured coconut oil substitutions: Instead of butter-flavoured coconut oil, you can use regular coconut oil, a vegan butter substitute, or any other cooking oil of your choice.

Brown sugar substitutions: instead of using brown sugar, you can use white sugar, coconut palm sugar, or a low-carb sugar substitute such as Swerve.
Egg substitutions: instead of using an egg, you can swap it out for a vegan egg substitute.

Cornmeal substitutions: instead of cornmeal, you can use corn flour, polenta, or corn grits.

Make this recipe lower calorie/fat: Instead of using ⅓ cup of melted coconut oil, you can cut it down to 1-2 tbsp and then top up the rest of the ⅓ cup with additional coconut milk or other dairy-free milk. Make sure to use a lower calorie coconut milk instead of the full fat canned coconut milk.

Make this recipe lower sugar: Instead of ⅔ cup of brown sugar, you can cut it down to ⅓ cup and top the rest up with gluten-free flour. Alternatively, to make this recipe sugar-free, replace the entire ⅔ cup of sugar with gluten-free flour.

Make this recipe vegan: Replace the egg with one vegan egg substitute.
