All Cornmeal Cornbread - gluten free

We accidentally have A LOT of organic cornmeal at the moment.  I made up this recipe tonight and it was so good, Phil said I should write it down so I can make it again.  See Update below, which was even better! 

Almost 2 cups of organic cornmeal
  • 3 T almond flour
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 T melted coconut oil (I melted this in the pan, bad idea-it leaked)
  • 2 T melted butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup low fat greek yogurt plain
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 T honey
Mix wet ingredients into dry mix.
Pour into greased dark grey cake pan with removable sides.
Bake in 400 degree oven for 25 minutes.

Update:  I made cornbread again last night without looking at this recipe.  I think it came out even better, with a real corn taste with coconut and butter flavors.  No need to add butter for serving!

MY BEST 100% CORNMEAL CORNBREAD (so far)

Preheat Oven to 450 degrees.  Use coconut oil to grease 9 inch round dark cake pan with removable sides.

Mix in small bowl:
  • 2 cups organic cornmeal from Co-op (coarse)
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
Mix in large bowl:
  • 2 T melted coconut oil (melt in microwave 30 seconds)
  • 1 T melted butter
  • 2 T honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (the last of a container of low-fat greek yogurt is what I had on hand)
  • 1.5 cups almond milk (plain)
Pour Dry mix into Wet mix.  It will seem way too liquify, but it is OK.  Let it sit for a few minutes before pouring into pan and baking.

Bake for 25 minutes.  I turned the oven temp down to 400 degrees when I put it in so the heat would not come back on.

Vegan Cornbread

I have finally created a cornbread recipe I like, by combining the best of two vegan cornbread recipes.    It was moist with great texture warm out of the oven. It was basically this vegan-cornbread from healthy family and home combined with the flax seed and water technique from vinogirl's vegan cornbread on food.com
  • 6 T water 
  • 2 T ground flax seed
1. Boil water in a small saucepan, add ground flax seed, and simmer 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. In medium bowl, combine and set aside:
  • 2 cups cornmeal (non-GMO)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 T aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (pink himalayan if you have it)
3. In another bowl, mix together:
  • 1.75 cups almond milk
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted in the 8x8 pan while the oven is preheating).
  • 2 T maple syrup or other sweetener
4. Add the flax seed mixture to the wet ingredients and then mix wet and dry ingredients together. Batter will be thick.
5. Transfer to 8 x 8 inch baking pan that has been slightly oiled from the coconut oil.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  Cool 10 minutes.
