The countdown to Thanksgiving continues. Gluten-free cornbread stuffing is definitely my favorite thing at Thanksgiving. I love the combination of a sweet cornbread with the savory flavors of traditional stuffing.

I prefer not to put the stuffing in the turkey. A big turkey has enough trouble cooking with out drying out. When you add stuffing it has to cook even longer. So here’s a recipe for gluten-free cornbread stuffing that bakes on its own.

Gluten-Free Cornbread

For the gluten-free cornbread you have a couple of options. In some markets you can find ready-made gluten-free cornbread stuffing cubes. Or you can use a gluten-free mix to make cornbread. There are several companies that make them – King Arthur Flour is a good one. The mixes will give you about the right amount of cornbread for this recipe. If you’re feeling ambitious you can bake the cornbread from scratch-here’s my gluten-free cornbread recipe. See below for the best method for baking the cornbread for stuffing.

Important note for baking the cornbread:

If you are not using ready-made cornbread cubes, here’s the trick for making cubes from cornbread: Instead of baking it in a regular baking dish, spread the batter in a thin layer on a large baking sheet with low sides and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Then, once it’s cooled for about 20 minutes, cut into 1/2β€³ cubes. Split the cubes between 2 baking sheets and toast in a 400Β° oven for 10 minutes.

Stuffing Variations

  • Vegan cornbread stuffing – Use a neutral oil like sunflower or avocado in place of the butter and use vegan low-sodium broth. I highly recommend Imagine Low-Sodium “No-Chicken” broth. It is the best vegan broth I have tried.
  • Add 1 cup cooked, crumbled sausage
  • Add 1 cup diced apples and 1/2 chopped walnuts sautΓ©ed in butter

  • Low Sodium Vegetarian No-Chicken Broth

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups minced onion about 1 medium-sized onion
  • 2 cups finely chopped celery
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 cups toasted cornbread cubes*
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp ground sage 1 tsp salt
  • ΒΌ tsp ground black pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 2Β½ cups low-sodium chicken or vegetarian broth

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet. When the butter starts to bubble add the celery and onion.
  • Cook over low-medium heat, tossing often, for 5-7 minutes until the celery and onion are translucent. The key here is to soften the onion and celery, not brown. Remove the celery and onion from the pan and transfer to a bowl and be sure to scrape out all the butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and broth together. Mix in the celery, onion, spices, salt and pepper. Gently toss in the cornbread cubes. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour the stuffing into a 9β€³ x 13β€³ roasting pan and bake for 45 minutes.

I found that the whiskey flavor faded a little bit in baking so I created a peanut butter whiskey icing to make sure that they taste boozy.

I normally make my baked goods dairy-free too, but I wanted a buttery tasting muffin. So these muffins start with creamed butter and sugar for a muffin with a beautiful texture and flavor. I used Namaste Gluten-Free flour, but the recipe works well with other gluten-free flour blends.

I may post a lot of baked goods on my insta, but I am really a salad person. I live on them year-round. So coming up with new and interesting dressings is key. The combo of sweet basil, tangy lemon and a small amount of sweet and salty, makes for a perfectly balanced dressing. The recipe includes instructions on how you can easily turn this into a creamy dressing if you prefer.

The cake gets a double dose of lemon flavor from lots of lemon zest and lemon extract. I tried lemon juice and found that I had to use way too much to get the lemon zing that I wanted. So I leave it out and rely on the zest and extract.
πŸ‹πŸŽ‚πŸ‹
The recipe is super easy and can be made dairy-free with the use of your favorite dairy-free milk sub. I like soy milk for baking the best.

Both of these boozy milkshakes start with a base of vanilla ice cream, a big spoonful of peanut butter and a shot or two of peanut butter whiskey. And good news, these can easily be made dairy free and gluten-free. My blog post provides info on the best dairy-free ice cream and creamers to use for a shake as well as gf cookies.
