Can You Make Bread With Grits?

Writer Rachel Davis

Can I use grits as a breadcrumb?

Instead of breadcrumbs, I used grits in my usual recipe. It turned out perfectly and gave the burgers a more meaty texture than bread crumbs.

Can you use grits to make polenta?

It’s not uncommon for polenta to be made with Italian flint corn rather than the more commonly used American dent corn. However, grits and polenta are interchangeable in this recipe because they are both prepared in the same manner.

What to use when you don’t have bread crumbs?

Crushed crackers, crushed potato chips, crushed nuts, ground almonds, seeds, rolled oats, breakfast cereal, Parmesan cheese, desiccated coconut, rice, pretzels, nutritional yeast, quinoa, corn starch, or potato flour are just a few of the possible substitutes you could use.
