I can no longer eat true cornbread due to my corn allergy, but this “corn” bread made from millet actually tastes very similar to the real thing and is really tasty!

You will need millet “corn” meal, an egg, white whole-wheat flour, baking powder, white granulated cane sugar, wheat gluten, canola oil, olive oil in a mister, goat’s milk, and sea salt.

First preheat your oven to 400° F and then spray the bottom and sides of an 8″x8″ glass baking pan with olive oil.

Next, measure the white whole wheat flour and wheat gluten and combine in a large bowl.   The Tablespoon of wheat gluten should be slightly heaped as shown.

Add the remaining dry ingredients and…

Thoroughly blend all the dry ingredients together.

Crack the egg into a small dish and beat well with a fork.

Mix the wet ingredients (milk, oil, and egg) together in your measuring cup.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients…

And stir well.

Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth evenly with the back of the spoon.  Place in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or …

until golden on top.  Allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut into single-size servings.

This is best right out of the oven, so serve and enjoy!

When using this as part of a Make-Ahead-Meal, I generally package it in 1 cup containers and pop them in the freezer.   It tends to be a little drier the second time around, so I microwave it for a few minutes and put some coconut oil on it to moisten it up. 

This is not gluten-free, so if any of you with gluten intolerances/allergies revamp the recipe to replace the white whole-wheat flour and gluten with a gluten-free alternative (that is not rice, corn, or potato) and still get a good rise, let me know what you did – then I can make it to share with my gluten intolerant friends!
