Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup gluten-free cornmeal
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and dairy-free milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the cornbread into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your gluten-free vegan pumpkin cornbread!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most vibrant flavor - avoid watery canned varieties.
- Don't overmix the batter! Gently fold ingredients until just combined to keep the cornbread tender.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to the wet ingredients.
- Check your cornbread a few minutes early to prevent over-browning, as gluten-free baked goods can dry out quickly.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or alongside a hearty soup for the ultimate comfort meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to maintain its soft texture.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling pumpkin seeds on top before baking for a delightful crunch!
