Cornbread - Gluten and Dairy Free


Snowy days and cold winter winds have arrived and with them so has the desire to bake hot, homey, comfort foods. Cornbread is one of my personal favorite pan-breads, both to eat and to prepare. It pairs well as a savory side to a steamy bowl of soup or stew, or as a delicious base to fresh fruit, preserves, ice cream, or topped with a dollop of butter and drizzled with pure maple syrup. You can even have it all on its own with a hot cup of tea. Whichever way you serve it its sure to bring a delightful smile to your table.

The recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup of Robin Hood gluten free all purpose flour
1 cup of yellow corn meal
2 tablespoons of white sugar
1 Tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 X-Large eggs - beaten
1 cup Silk unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup Extra light olive oil (Do not use regular olive oil as the taste will be too heavy.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan; set it aside.

2) In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients and make a well in the center; set it aside.

3) In another bowl combine the wet ingredients until well blended. Add to the dry mixture all at once and stir with a spoon until moistened.

4) Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, or at room temperature. 

Enjoy!
