This gluten free corn casserole (also known as corn pudding or corn souffle) is one of my family's favorite dishes. For us it started as a side dish for holiday dinners and turned into something we make any time of year. It's so easy to make, it doesn't require any special equipment (just a bowl and a spatula). You can mix it up in about 5 minutes and then just bake it while you're making the rest of your meal. You're going to love it!

Ingredient Notes
This delicious side dish recipe uses simple ingredients which should be available at most grocery stores.
- Gluten Free Flour Blend - I have created this recipe using Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. You can use the gluten free flour of your choice, but the results may not be the same. If you use another flour blend, ensure it contains xanthan gum or a similar binder.
- Eggs - Three large eggs to hold everything together. They also help create that soft, moist interior. I have not tried this recipe with an egg replacement.
- Sugar - This is a sweetened casserole.
- Baking Powder - To provide leavening and keep things light.
- Non Dairy Milk - I use unsweetened coconut milk, you can use almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk. If you don't need a dairy-free option, use whole milk in the same quantity.
- Poblano Pepper - This pepper provides just the right amount of spice, but not so much that kids will complain it's too hot.
- Vegan Butter - I use Country Crock Plant Butter for this recipe. If you're not dairy free, you can use regular unsalted butter in the same measure.
- Salt & Spices - To give you a little more complex flavor. You'll love it.
- Creamed Corn - You'll need one 15 ounce can of creamed corn. You can also use homemade creamed corn. One can will be about 1 ¾ cups.

Substitutions & Variations
- Not Dairy Free - use dairy butter and milk in the same measure.
- No poblano pepper - Sometimes it can be tricky to find poblanos out of season, you can substitute with a small can of green chilis.
- Add ½ Cup cheddar cheese - or measure with your heart!
How to Make a Gluten Free Corn Casserole

STEP 2: Add the eggs, milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until well mixed with no lumps remaining.
STEP 3: Add the can of creamed corn and the chopped poblano peppers to the batter and fold together with a spatula.
STEP 4: Spray your casserole dish with cooking spray. Pour the batter in and bake. After 30 minutes, cover the top with aluminum foil.
Is canned creamed corn gluten free?
I checked every brand of creamed corn in my grocery store and none were marked certified gluten free on the label.
Upon some investigation online, I found Del Monte Creamed Corn is gluten free (as of Oct 2024). It does not contain any gluten ingredients but it is made in a shared facility with cleaning protocols in place.
Storage
Leftover corn casserole can be stored in the original baking dish covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil if storing overnight. If you will be storing for longer, I'd suggest transferring the corn casserole to an air tight container to avoid drying out. The corn casserole should be refrigerated and will last 3-4 days.
To reheat corn casserole in the original dish, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees until inside is warm, about 30 minutes. Reheat individual servings in the microwave at full power for about two minutes.
