Really good and easy substitute for cornbread

  • i wasn't sure where this recipe should go so i am putting it here. Hope that's okay. this is a really good substitute for cornbread. It doesn't sound very good but it really is. I also add splenda/agave/unsweetened cocoa powder to make a dessert. it is also really good to leave out the baking powder and microwave a little less and it is really gooey. i serve with lite cool whip.

    Ingredients
    3 1/2 ounces ground almonds or almond flour
    1 ounce i can't bekieve its not butter
    2 large eggs
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Directions
    1In a small bowl, mix wet ingredients, then work in the dry ingredients.
    2Pour into a greased microwave-safe container (about 6-inch square, or thereabouts).
    3Microwave for 2 minutes .
    4Cut into 8 slices
    5Serve with i can't believe its not butter.
  • Can you bake this in the oven in a cast iron pan?
  • i'm not sure. i would guess so, i have only made it in the microwave, which is seemingly gross but actually delish!
  • is there another type of flour that can be used ? I'm allertgic to almonds. Maybe Chickpea flour?
  • Sorry but bean flours are not allowed in Phase I - they have a high GI.
  • and chick pea flour would turn out 100% different but may jut be good!
  • Cornbread substitute
    I am assuming that if I wanted I could use melted butter (I know--higher calories)? I may want to try this as the base for my dressing recipe.

    Thanks,
    Esti

  • This is the South Beach forum so butter is not on the allowed foods list. Obviously if you are following a different plan you should go ahead and modify as needed
