Still searching for a gluten free stuffing recipe? This Gluten Free Cornbread Stuffing is my absolute favorite version. Made with homemade cornbread, and cranberries, it tastes like the holidays should.
Stuffing or Dressing?
Stuffing. It’s the one thing that people miss at the holidays. Stuffing shouldn’t just be relegated just to the holidays, though.
I received a panicked email during Christmas, when someone’s stuffing mix supply ran out. I tried to encourage the writer that it’s not all that hard to make. Use the recipe for Bette Hagman’s gluten free cornbread, and you’re halfway to this delicious gluten free cornbread stuffing. Just make it ahead of time, so the cornbread has time to dry out a bit. Or toast it in the oven, after it has been cubed.
Gluten Free Bouillon
I originally posted this recipe for my gluten free cornbread stuffing in 2017. I did it in a hurry, because I wanted everyone to have it in time. However, it contained only one picture. To be honest, it wasn’t a great one.
So here I am, updating the post with images that tell more of the story. My recipe calls for using gluten free bouillon and water. (You can use chicken stock if you want.) Here are the bouillon brands I trust.
Why I Put Cranberries in My Stuffing
My recipe for gluten free cornbread stuffing contains one important ingredient. Cranberries. Some may not agree, but I feel it adds an added sweetness to the dish. When I can, I prefer to use Michigan brands, such as Graceland Fruit.
Other Uses for Stuffing, Like Waffles
Don’t wait for the holidays to make this gluten free cornbread stuffing. This dish is good anytime of the year. While it’s tasty with turkey, it’s succulent as a side to sausage as well.
You can use it to make my recipe for waffled stuffing. Use dry gluten free stuffing mix for homemade meatloaf. Try these Gluten Free Stuffing Cups from Eat At Our Table for individual servings.

I was going to ask if you use sweetened dried cranberries, but then I found an ingredient listing for Graceland Dried Cranberries, and found that the answer is yes. So I’ve answered my own question, but I thought other people might find that info helpful too.
