Light and Airy Gluten-Free Cornbread bakes up tender with a soft, cakey crumb and a gentle sweetness that lets the corn shine. The blend of cornmeal, millet, and rice flour creates a delicate texture that stays moist without feeling heavy. It’s perfect alongside chili or barbecue, or served warm with butter and honey for weeknight dinners and casual gatherings.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
2

Whisk the eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside. In a separate large bowl, stir together the cornmeal, millet flour, rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then make a well in the center. Pour the liquid mixture into the well and stir only until combined.
3

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven until golden and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes.
