Ingredients

"Cornbread"

  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 4 Eggs beaten
  • 4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
  • 4 Tablespoons Water
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 stick Butter melted

Dressing

  • 2 cups Onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Celery chopped
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sage dried
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2 Eggs

Instructions

"Cornbread"

  1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  3. Combine almond flour, baking powder and salt.
  4. Add eggs, cream, water and extract (if used).
  5. Add melted butter.
  6. Option: Add 1/8th teaspoon of Popcorn Extract.

  7. Divide evenly among muffin cups.
  8. Bake. The muffins should be lightly browned on top and edges. They should be firm to the touch and if you insert a toothpick, it should come out clean.
  9. Let cool.  

  10. Crumble "cornbread" into a large bowl.  

Dressing

  1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.

  2. Spray nonstick spray on a 8 x 11.5 glass baking dish.

  3. Saute onions and celery in butter.

  4. Add all ingredients to "cornbread" in bowl and mix together well.

  5. Pour mixture into the baking dish and smooth out evenly.

  6. Bake for an hour or until set firm, but still moist.

Recipe Notes

  • I worried that that it took so long to bake and that I might need to back off some liquid, but it turned out great.  I may still experiment with that and will update this post when I do.
  • Another reader did this recipe with 1 1/2 cups chicken stock with good success.  I will try this out too.  Some like drier rather than wetter dressing.  My family likes it a little wetter.
  • The Nutritional facts went a bit wonky on me.  This recipe is calculated for 16 servings.

    Great recipe I added shredded chicken to mine which gives you more protein. I also added celery seeds instead of fresh celery. I made regular cornbread dressing and did the low carb for my husband which is a diabetic we all tried the low carb most everyone preferred the low carb over the regular dressing. Great taste we loved it.

    • lowcarb4ever23 says:

      I am so glad to hear that! I like adding the chicken to it. My in-laws do chicken and dressing and we were going to try that this year. Have a great holiday season! Dee

    • lowcarb4ever23 says:

      It might. I haven’t tried that, but sounds like it should work. Let me know how that turns out! I just made the “corn” bread with almond flour for a friend and they couldn’t tell difference in texture to what they were used to. I may still try your suggestion and let you know how it goes too. ~Dee

    Hi,
    How would “I” Calculate “ONE” Serving Size???
    You added the entire serving for the entire pan of dressing, but, would you divide each total by 1, to get a single serving?
    Also, how would this recipe be halved, there’s just the two of us?
    Thanks, sounds yummy

    • lowcarb4ever23 says:

      Hi Donna,

      If you are talking about the nutritional serving size, the Nutrition Facts are always calculated for a single serving.

      It is not obvious how you can change the recipe calculations automatically. Just mouse over the number of servings that says 16 on the recipe. It will give you a slider bar to change the number of servings you want. Slide it to 8 to half the recipe and then it will give you new ingredient amounts to use that you can print. It is that easy. This will possibly bake a little quicker, so keep an eye on it.

      Hope that helps and Happy Thanksgiving!

Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you!
