Pumpkin Cornbread
This is a really delicious cornbread recipe that is perfect for dunking in chili.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
- ⅔ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon molasses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 10-inch glass pie pan or 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Sift the flours, baking powder, salt and spices into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the cornmeal.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Whisk in the pumpkin, brown sugar, oil and molasses.
- Make a well in the dry mixture. Add the pumpkin mixture and blend the batter with a few quick strokes (just until blended- don't over-mix).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cornbread is browned and the surface has a slightly springy feel.
Notes
- We like to use Bob's Red Mill coarse grain corn meal for an added crunchy texture.
- Terrific with pumpkin chili!
