So I will admit jaybird@jaybird had me stumped this week with his theme - Anything but Wheat, but after having a look at steemit-foodie@steemit-foodie's entries where she is trying to raise awareness of Celiac Disease, I put on my thinking cap, eventually the chef's hat & Mom's apron, and managed to come up with a really delicious wheat free Corn Bread & Chicken Burger Stack.

Here in South Africa, when it's time to harvest corn (or mealies as we call it), you will find pop-up vegetable vendors selling freshly picked corn on the roadside.
Cars would screech to a halt or do a U-turn to go and buy mealies.
My mother always made the most divine mealie bread which would be devoured as it was taken out of the steam pot; our cheeks would be glistening with butter as you had to eat this with a thick layer of cold butter!
So I took a gamble and decided to alter Mom's recipe for SSC week #31.
I replaced the wheat flour with Almond Flour, Mealie Meal and Psyllium Husks, and baked it, not steamed it.
The ingredients:

4 sweetcorn cobs, grate as much as you can off the raw cob
150ml Almond Flour
3 Tablespoons Psyllium Husks
100ml Mealie Meal
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Egg
Salt to taste

Mix the above together, spoon into muffin pans or small bread pan (I used pie pans).

Bake @170 C fan oven (180 C regular) till a nice light brown and cooked through.

Success, the corn bread was perfectly cooked and did not fall apart as I thought it may do, not having used wheat flour! Plus the smell of cooked corn wafted through the kitchen.
Now for the Chicken Burger Patty.
I used Chicken Mince, added chopped Spring Onions, Parsley, 1 Egg and enough Rolled Oats to bind the patty plus salt and pepper.

I formed the patties and rolled in extra Oats, this makes a nice crunchy coating once fried.

Definitely need a thick layer of grated cheese on top of this

Now for crispy crunchy Lettuce and creamy Mayonnaise

Hubby was starving by now so came rushing into the kitchen and grabbed the Corn Bread & Chicken Stack model; poor thing did not know it was going to be devoured in no time and its glory days would soon be over!

Hubby's not saying much but the noises coming from him tells me this one has passed the Quality Control Test :)
