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!
I LOVE making all things savoury and this…..this is a winner. Topped with guac and salsa and that would be corn cake heaven.
Yum! What a great spin by adding the cornmeal. I love runny eggs so this picture did me in 😉
these definitely look easy enough! i just need to go out and get some cornmeal now!
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 🙂
i like the idea of salsa added! yes, and maybe avo?
Haha love that last pic 😉 And yum, corn cakes! I like them with a bit of butter and maple syrup. Salty and sweet
Those look so good! Except drippy #yolkporn would be mandatory in my hours. 😉
Yum!! I love the flavor of corn cakes 🙂
Oh. My. Gosh. I was JUST talking to my sister about how I want to find a recipe for these!! You’ve answered my gluten-free prayers! haha. Thank you! 🙂
Look at that pretty egg on top, yum!
These look AWESOME and love how they can be sweet or savory…My kind of cake! XOXO
YUMMERS!!!!!!!!!! Such a cute pic pf kitty wanting some!
Ohhhh yes, I dig this. This is awesome. And that egg is just so perfect, it’s kind of crazy how flawless you made that! haha. Awesome recipe.
haha i got lucky 🙂
These look great Lindsay! I wonder how they would be as a sub for cornbread with chili?
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.
you’re welcome! these would be great for pancake breakfast as well…just add a little sweetener!
THESE LOOK HEAVENLY!! I love the little kitty sneak peak too!
Anything that has the word “cake” in it, grabs my attention. Yummy!
haha mine too 🙂
Love the idea of a savory pancake! I have all the ingredients already at home, so I look forward to trying these!
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!
happy eating 🙂
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.
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!:)
I need to make these!
Looks great!
My whole family loves these!! We make them every week!! Such a good recipe! Thank you!
so glad to hear it!
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!
