Ingredients
  

OR

  • 1 (135) cup (grams) gfJules™ Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 Tbs. baking powder
  • 3/4 cup certified gluten-free cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (+ or minus, to taste, or none, if you prefer)
  • 1 Tbs. flaxseed meal (optional)

PLUS

  • 1 egg (or egg substitute)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy vanilla soy, hemp, almond, coconut…)
  • 1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F static or 325º F convection.
  • Mix the liquid ingredients and pumpkin until combined. Whisk in the dry ingredients until the lumps are removed. Expect the batter to be a bit thin, but not watery.
  • Pour the batter into an oiled 8 x 8 baking pan, oven-safe cast iron skillet or into 12 oiled or lined muffin pans.
  • Bake for 30 minutes for the cornbread, 20 minutes for regular corn muffins, or 12-15 minutes for mini-muffins.
  • Insert a toothpick into the center of the cornbread to test for doneness; it should be lightly browned around the edges and firm to the touch in the centers.
