The most common low carb/keto flour to use is almond flour. It makes a great substitute for cornmeal in low carb cornbread because it has the best texture. We love kirklands almond flour from Costco the best. It is finely ground and comes in at only 5 carbs per ¼ cup, as opposed to cornmeal that is 30 carbs for ¼ cup.
Cornmeal. I like a medium-grind cornmeal like this one, which gives the Mexican cornbread extra texture, but if you don’t have it on hand, regular finer-grind cornmeal works too. White Whole Wheat Flour. For whole-grain goodness. Its mild flavor tastes just like all-purpose flour in this recipe. Baking Powder AND Baking Soda. For that perfect rise.
