A gluten-free corn cake that’s savory and tastes great topped with everything from chicken, to eggs, to roasted veggies!
Hi Friends!
Today I have a quick little recipe to share with you guys. I made these like a month and a half ago…and then forgot to share them! So here they are:
Gluten-Free Corn Cakes
I will confess that these were supposed to be more of a sweet breakfast pancake…but I forgot the sweetener when I was making them. No worries though, I like a good savory cake! These are great with some leftover chicken and an egg on top for breakfast and I bet they’d also be good topped with roasted veggies!
This photo shoot took forever because SOMEBODY thought these smelled delightful:
So here’s the recipe:
PrintGluten-Free Corn Cakes
A gluten-free, savory corn cake that’s great topped with everything from chicken, to eggs, to roasted veggies!
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
Instructions
- Combine egg, yogurt and vinegar in a small bowl.
- Stir in baking soda, almond meal and cornmeal until just combined.
- Let sit for 5 minutes while you heat the pan/griddle.
- Pour or scoop batter onto griddle, let sit until bubbles form and flip carefully.
Notes
Optional: If you want to give these a little more flavor, add in some of your favorite spices!
Pretty easy, right?
Full disclosure, I added salsa to mine and ate them with a fried egg that was all the way cooked through. I hate runny eggs…but over easy certainly looks prettier in pictures!
Enjoy!

These look awesome! I am always a fan of savory breakfasts these days 🙂 I bet they’d still be good topped with some nut butter and fruit, too though!
Arman @ thebigmansworld says
I LOVE making all things savoury and this…..this is a winner. Topped with guac and salsa and that would be corn cake heaven.
Kim @ FITsique says
Yum! What a great spin by adding the cornmeal. I love runny eggs so this picture did me in 😉
Linz @ Itz Linz says
these definitely look easy enough! i just need to go out and get some cornmeal now!
Tina Muir says
Oh cool! I have some cornmeal in my pantry that I have been wondering what to do with, this will work! I think I will add back the sweetener though! Perfect pre run fuel 🙂

Lindsay says
i think they’d be perfect!

Lindsay, my wife and I are both Gluten free and we gave up pancakes long ago. Thanks for giving us this recipe and serving suggestions to help us add them back into our diet.
Lindsay says

Love this! Cornbread, etc. is one of my favorite things in the world. I know I’d love these cakes. Plus they’re so simple. You’ve done it again!
Lindsay says
happy eating 🙂
Helen says
I love the idea of a savory pancake. Looks delicious. It’s nice to switch it up once in a while! And I agree with the egg. I like mine all the way cooked. I’m not a big fan of eggs with runny yolks.
Heather Williams says
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These look FABULOUS Lindsay!:) I LOVE EM!:) My favorite kind of bread as a kid was cornbread, and I started making my own healthy version with cornmeal and quinoa flour awhile back, and found garbanzo flour also works, but I’ll have to give the almond flour a try too. Cool!:) THANK YOU!:)
Matt @ Runner Savvy says
I need to make these!
Kierston says

Lauren says
My whole family loves these!! We make them every week!! Such a good recipe! Thank you!
Lindsay says
so glad to hear it!
Rick says
Excellent, and forgiving recipe! I’ve substituted gluten free flour for almond meal and plain yogurt for Greek yogurt, and they still come out tasty!
