This easy Keto Cornbread Dressing (Keto Cornbread Stuffing) recipe is a low-carb and gluten-free southern cornbread dressing alternative. Like the traditional, it has a great blend of sweet & savory. But, it skips flour and cornmeal. This perfect side dish features my keto cornbread recipe, sautéd vegetables, meat (optional), and spices. Ready in under 40 minutes and has about 4g net carbs.

Why Make Keto Cornbread Stuffing

There are so many recipes that you should add this easy casserole dish to your list of holiday recipes! Here are my top three:

  • Tastes like the real thing minus the carbs: This keto version has about 4g net carbs per serving, making it the perfect low-carb side dish for Thanksgiving dinner and other holiday meals that the whole family will enjoy.
  • Save your holiday carbs for some other dish: Thanksgiving comes once a year and if you are trying to have balance without going overboard (or stick to a low carb diet or keto diet), why not cut carbs with low-carb versions of dishes where you can and save the rest for something else?
  • Try a new way to enjoy stuffing, especially if you’ve never been a fan: personally, I do not like the taste or texture of traditional stuffing recipes that use regular bread. So, I’ve always eaten southern cornbread dressing (stuffing) as an alternative. This keto stuffing recipe offers similar flavors without the carbs.

Ingredients Needed

Traditional cornbread is great, but low-carb cornbread is even better because it has less total carbs.

So, I’m listing the ingredients for keto cornbread batter below. I also include the directions for how to make the batter in the recipe card for this post.

Make sure you add this to your list of low carb cornbread recipes!

If you’d like to know how to make keto cornbread by itself, you can head over to that post for baking instructions. They are slightly different for how to make keto cornbread stuffing.

Keto Cornbread Batter

  • Almond Flour: I’m using super fine blanched almond flour.
  • Keto Sweetener or sugar substitute: Since I love sweet cornbread, I’m using the powdered variety so that it’s easy to mix. But, you can substitute a granular sweetener if you wish.
  • Baking Powder
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Eggs: you should beat these so that they are easy to mix.
  • Butter: I’m using melted butter so that it is easy to mix

Keto Cornbread Stuffing Mix-ins

  • Chopped Celery
  • Carrots: If you are following a strict keto way of eating, you can skip the carrots since it is a root vegetable. But, this recipe uses 3/4 cup of carrots, which has about 6g net carbs. Across 12 servings, this adds about .5 net carbs per serving to the dish.
  • Onions
  • Meat (optional): sausage, impossible sausage, smoked Turkey.
  • Herb Seasoning: this is one of my favorite spice mixes since it includes more than 24 herbs. To me, it has more flavor that poultry seasoning (a typical spice mix in stuffing recipes)
  • Salt and Pepper

How to Make Keto Stuffing

  1. Make keto cornbread batter: I’m just making the batter instead of using crumbled cornbread because I’ve found this step unnecessary for the keto version.
  2. Sauté the mix-ins
  3. Fold in the sautéed onion and other mix-ins
  4. Bake. When ready, it should have a pretty, golden brown color.

Top Recipe FAQs & Tips

  • Meat (optional): this southern-style keto cornbread dressing recipe tastes great with just vegetables as add-ins. However, you can make this with meat if you wish. Simply brown the meat first before sautéing the vegetables. Please note that extra flavor comes from the meat, so you don’t need to use chicken stock, chicken broth, or bone broth.
  • Plant-based Meat: we have a few pescatarians in my family. So, the version pictured is madewith Impossible savory sausage mixture. But, you could use the spicy variety too!
  • Bake until the center is set
  • Use superfine, blanched almond flour: as I mentioned in my keto cornbread recipe post, this flour is important for the final outcome. So, don’t skip out on it.

How to Store Southern Keto Cornbread Dressing

If you have any leftovers of this low carb stuffing recipe, the best way to store it is in an airtight container for next time (up to 5 days).
