Easy Gluten-Free Hushpuppies Recipe

Say “Hi” to the newest of our gluten-free recipes. So delicious, and so easy!

To say that I’ve never been a huge fan of hushpuppies is…. well, let’s just leave it at that. I’ve never been a fan. 

It’s not that hushpuppies are bad, I think it was just that the first time I tried one, it wasn’t what I was expecting. You know how that is, right? Especially when you’re a kid. You think there’s water in your glass, and it’s actually tea or soda, and it just tastes so wrong!

I thought I was biting into something like a doughnut hole or corn fritter, and instead I got cornmeal and ONION!?

Ruined for life. 

Or at least for a lot of years. 

Buuuuuuut, I was making a good ol’ fashioned southern catfish dinner for the family the other day, and I knew that I couldn’t just not make hushpuppies because of my own bad experience, when I knew that they would enjoy them. 

So fine. I’ll make hushpuppies. 

You know what? They were actually pretty good. 

I guess it helps knowing what to expect. 

Chopping your onions up as finely as you can helps the flavor blend into the dough without getting big chunk of onion that may or may not still be crunchy (I like onions, but NOT crunchy onions!), and the little bit of added sugar really brings out the sweetness of the onions. And no, your friends will never know they’re gluten-free!

So. Not bad at all – despite the presence of large amounts of cornmeal! (I know, I know, what a way to “sell” your recipe).

If you like hushpuppies, you’ll LOVE these!
