Cornbread with Gluten Free Option
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10 inch skillet or a 9×9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix
- 3 tablespoons melted butter (or sub melted coconut oil or olive oil)
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour (or if not GF, use whole wheat pastry flour or all purpose flour)
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal (medium grind)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, honey and almond milk until well combined.
- Stir in the dry ingredients: oat flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
- Pour into the greased skillet and bake for 15-22 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
For cornbread stuffing
Allow cornbread to cool completely in skillet. (NOTE: You can make this a day ahead if you’d like, then continue with the next step the next day.)
Next, reduce heat in oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the cornbread into 1/2 inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet.
Spray the tops of the cornbread with nonstick cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes to dry out bread. Optional to skip drying out the cornbread if you are short on time.
