So what exactly is cheese bread?
It’s hard to describe. It’s light and soft and fluffy… similar to cornbread… but without the corn… although I guess you could add corn if you wanted to… hmmm that’s not a bad idea… cheesy cornbread…
Perhaps you’ve noticed, the ellipsis is my favorite literary device.
My mind is like a child who can’t sit still. Before I finish one thought, I’ve already moved on to the next. It’s a little crazy, being inside of my mind…
Ooh look, a squirrel!
Flourless Cheese Bread
(Makes 9 servings)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 tsp vinegar
- 2 tbsp water or oil
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese – such as Daiya vegan
- 1 cup garbanzo flour (Regular flour can be substituted) (120g)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- pinch stevia OR 1 1/2 tsp sugar
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease an 8-inch square pan, then set aside. In a measuring cup, whisk together the first 5 ingredients and let sit at least 5 minutes. Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl, and stir very well. Pour wet into dry, stir to combine, and pour into the prepared pan. Bake 21 minutes on the middle rack, then let cool before slicing and removing from the pan.

And you thought I was kidding about the squirrel…
I wasn’t.

Oh Katie printing two pages for a little recipe sigh. It does have a cute squirrel licking a plate photo though, so I will let you off this time.
Hm – or, you could just type it out on the device of your choice and eliminate all paper instead of putting the onus on Katie, who gave you an awesome recipe for free. You’re welcome.
Or highlight the text only and print if you need paper
Just highlight the recipe, press the “control” and “c” keys on your keyboard to copy, and open a word document and paste 🙂
OR get the amazing MasterCook recipe software, and copy it into that. You’ll never look back.
My family is gluten free and I have missed cornbread. This looks like it would have a similar texture, and I have a bag of garbanzo bean flour in my freezer right now! PS we love your cookbook. I made the chocolate banana cupcakes last week and they were amazing 🙂
Thank you so much for making them!
Love the post! You do make me smile.
I love cooking with chickpea flour and this sounds very tasty…
even if it doesn’t contain chocolate!
EEEEEEWWWW SQUIRRELS! Sorry, have this overbearing hatred for squirrels XD anyways, this is awesome! You had me at gluten free, cheese and bread. YUM!
This looks fantastic! Will have to give it a try!

I just made this!
Can I tell you what I changed? Nothing really….it’s perfect as-is, but the pregnancy cravings got the better of me so with only 3 minutes left of cooking, I removed it from the oven and topped it with onions, anchovies and tomatoes that were marinated in olive oil, salt and oregano. I put it back in the oven on broil for about 5-8 minutes. It sure does hit the spot!!! It’s a cross now between a pizza and a cheese bread.
Thanks for the recipe and for satisfying my craving!!!!!
Pizza bread? That sounds really good! Even though mine tastes delicious, I am now sad I made it plain 😉
Thank you for making it!
Could this be made with nutritional yeast?
Sounds like a fun experiment. Be sure to report back if you do try!
Maybe the squirrel is your Spirit Animal!
I love your site!

I eat gluten-free thanks to Celiac Disease and this looks pretty similar to cornbread, (which I haven’t had in forever!) I’m excited to try this!
I just made this to go with my family’s dinner, and it is way better than any cornbread I’ve ever had. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this delicious recipe!!!!
P.S. Your commentary on your posts always makes me smile.
This. looks. awesome!
And the squirrel, how cute 😀
Just got my recipe email today- had to try this!!! Came out of the oven about 20 minutes ago, and I’ve been itch’n to get into it! So good. I only had about 3/4 cup of my Daiya cheese left, so I threw in some crumbled reduced fat feta. Thanks- keep the great recipes coming!
Thank YOU for trying it!
OH >.> is this by any chance based off that recipe I posted on you comments about the eggy bread? BTW bit of guar gum gives a bit more chewiness add it like you would for pizza crust <.< 4 tsp Italian herb 1 each of garlic and onion with a sprinkle of parsley and basil on top mixed in with the cheese
BTW Garbanzo Fava mix gives it a bit of rise, adding a tbsp or 2 of a starch like tapioca gives it a rise also. Switching to broil for a min or 2 at the end gives it a nice crust topping.
Thanks for the great recipes! Is it okay to use apple cider vinegar?
Oh that’s what I used. Turned out great!
What should I do if i don’t have any onion powder? Is there a substitute? what if i add finely minced onion?
You can definitely experiment!
Katie,
This is a bold request, but would you consider making a compilation of “non-chocolate” recipes? Yes, I realize this is a chocolate blog, 🙂 and I really enjoy chocolate, but sometimes I get cravings for other flavors. Just a suggestion.
Your work is amazing!
I have never viewed this is a “chocolate blog”- There’s tons and tons of other recipes without chocolate on CCK!

Oh of course! I think I need to reword my comment. 🙂 Katie has lots of amazing “non-chocolate” recipes on her “chocolate-covered” blog. By compilation I meant like a post with a list of favorite “non-chocolate” recipes (like she’s done with Easter, pumpkin, breakfast, etc. recipes).
Do you mean non-desserts? https://lett-trim.today/category/healthy-meal-ideas/%3C/a%3E%3Cbr /> Or just non-chocolate in general?
