How to Make Flourless Cornbread at Home

Firstly, to make this flourless cornbread recipe, you will need to place the corn in a container to blend them. Remember to wash them and place them individually into the blender. It may be easier to do this by buying corn in a can, as it is already separated. All you would have to do is rinse them with a strainer before placing them into the blender.

Before continuing, we preheat the oven to 180º. Preheating is crucial to ensure even baking and the perfect rise for your cornbread.

Once you have all the grains in the container, melt the stick of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. After this step, add the butter to the container where the grains are located and add the 5 eggs, a pinch of salt, the condensed milk, and the baking powder.

This last ingredient will not be necessary if you make cornbread without an oven. You can make cornbread in a double boiler or in a pressure cooker, as we will show you below.

Once you have everything together, mix them again with your blender until they become a homogeneous paste. The consistency of the mixture is key to achieving the traditional texture of cornbread.

You can also blend the corn kernels into a paste and then empty it into a bowl, then add the rest of the ingredients there and stir them manually. If you don't have a blender, be sure to mash the corn kernels well and properly stir the ingredients to form a paste. This method ensures that even without a blender, you can still achieve a smooth mixture.

Now that the dough is ready, it's time to prepare the mold to bake your cornbread. Remember to grease your pan so the dough doesn't stick. Using parchment paper can also help in easy removal and cleanup.

Leave the cornbread in the oven for 50 minutes. However, you must keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn, as this will depend on the power of each oven. Rotating the pan halfway can sometimes help ensure even baking.

Once the 50 minutes are over, we recommend you take a toothpick and pierce it in your cornbread. If it comes out clean, it means that your cornbread is ready. However, if it comes out moist, you'll need to leave it in your oven for a couple more minutes. Patience here ensures perfect texture.

Now, simply wait for your flourless cornbread to cool down for around 25 minutes before serving. This cooling period allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Then, enjoy!

Flourless cornbread in a pressure cooker

To make the same flourless cornbread in a pressure cooker, you will have to follow these simple steps:

1. Shell four ears of corn and insert the kernels into a bowl while melting the stick of butter. You can also use cans of corn already shelled (4 and a half cups).
2. Add the rest of the ingredients (butter, corn, a can of condensed milk, five eggs, and a little salt) to a blender and mix well until completely integrated.
3. Grease your pressure cooker with a little butter or shortening and add the mixture.
4. Put the pot over medium heat for 35 minutes. Pressure cooking can accelerate the cooking process while preserving nutrients.
5. Once this time has passed, turn off the heat and let it cool for 25 minutes. Then, it's ready to serve! The gentle cooling helps retain moisture.

Tips

• We recommend shelling your own ears before buying cans of corn, as the texture will be more favorable, although it will not affect the flavor at all. Freshly shelled corn can offer a more robust cornbread texture.
• You can use vanilla essence and 1/4 cup of sugar to give this dessert a sweeter flavor. Sweet cornbread can be a delightful complement to various dishes.
• If instead of a cornbread you want to prepare corn muffins without flour, we recommend dividing the paste into smaller molds to serve them in a more original way. Muffin-sized portions can make serving easier and more personalized.
• You can also make cheesy cornbread by simply adding 180g of cream cheese when you prepare the mixture. The addition of cheese offers a delicious twist to the traditional cornbread flavor.
