INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
HEAVY CREAM:
- We have to utilize heavy cream, which will give a smooth texture and rich flavor. Alternatively, you can use cream cheese, high-fat coconut cream, or mascarpone cheese.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Use erythritol powder to imrpove the flavor and subtle sweetness of this cornbread. We may also use monk fruit sweetener, xylitol powder, or stevia blend.
ALMOND MILK:
- You can use almost milk, which will provide a moist & tender texture to this cornbread. As a replacement, we can use unsweetened coconut milk, heavy cream, or macadamia nut milk.
LIME JUICE:
- We use lime juice, as it will deliver a tarty flavor and bright texture. It also aids in balancing the sweet taste. You can replace it with lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or citric acid.
XANTHAN GUM:
- Xanthan gum will help in stabilizing and combining the elements to form a structure. Instead, we can use ground chia seeds, gelatin, or psyllium husk powder.
