Easy Steps for a Flavorful and Moist Gluten-Free Treat
This gluten-free cornbread recipe is a delightful option for potlucks and family meals. By incorporating vegetables, the dish becomes incredibly moist and flavorful, distinguishing it from traditional cornbread, which can often be dry. With its high protein and low carb content, along with the addition of vegetables, this cornbread can nearly serve as a complete meal on its own.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility; you can easily modify it by substituting vegetables with fruits like apples. In that case, it’s advisable to reduce the salt and increase the amount of maple syrup or honey to enhance the sweetness. As long as the basic ratio of flour to baking powder is maintained, feel free to experiment with the ingredients. For those who prefer regular flour, it can be used without compromising the recipe’s integrity, as long as the flour-to-baking powder ratio remains consistent at 2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour.

hello I am Dudley Evanson and I am going to share with you my process for making my wonderful new recipe for cornbread and I call this gluten-free cornbread and it’s moist cornbread I know a lot of times cornbread is kind of dry but my cornbread is really special so we are going to start with.
Flower okay so this is what I use um um I use Bob’s Red Mill and you can use anything but this is a nice um allpurpose baking flour that’s gluten-free so I’m going to put in uh a couple cups of this into the bowl and then I am going to add that’s two cups and now I’m going to add a cup of cornmeal about a cup about.
A cup and a half of cornmeal so there’s one cup whoops and here’s a half a cup of cornmeal but I’m also going to add to that some flax flour and I find that flax is a really good well first of all it has protein in it’s super healthy and then it also is good because it kind of binds things together so when you’re.
Doing gluten-free it helps so that’s the first step now I want to share with you um this process so what I did did is I put in four cups of flour and when you bake uh cakes and kind of bisc kind of things you want to have two teaspoons of baking baking powder if you’re making a cookie you’re going to want to have a half a teaspoon of baking soda but we’re.
Not making cookies we are making a cakey kind of thing so I am because I put in four cups of flour I’m going to put in eight teaspoons of baking powder 1 one two 3 four five.
Six seven eight always good when you can get that part done without anybody interrupting you because it’s really important to have the right ratio of of flour to whatever your leavening is now other people might want to use yeast there’s all sorts of different ways but this is.
What I do I also the other part of it is I’m I’m going to be adding eggs and that will also be uh help give it some leavening and also help bind it together so what we do first is we add all the uh dry material so I’m going to add a uh a little bit of sea salt and then because I really like it’s just about a.
Spoonful this is my uh favorite seasoning it’s called Spike and because this is not going to be a sweet sweet uh cakey thing it’s got more of a veggie kind of feeling I’m going to add a few um teaspoons of this and basically it’s really this Spike this is the the thing it comes from but I get it in.
Bulk I use so many things and it’s a it’s has less salt and we like that so now we’ve got some Basics here we’ve got all the flowers we’re going to use now the next thing I’m going to do is I’m going to go go ahead and break up the eggs and I’m going to get them squared away and I use free range free range.
Organic happy chicken eggs get them at the co-op I really recommend um as much as you can to use organic uh non GMO and happy happy animals so that’s super important because what is coming into our bodies is.
Going to make who we are so we want to be we want the Happy Animal if we’re eating any animal products at all milk or um meat eggs that kind of thing we want it to come from a happy a happy creature so what I’m going to do is just mix these up and then I’m going to put them in and kind of just mix them up with.
The with the flowers and get that going so this is really just kind of getting it getting things mixed in so right here we’ve got the eggs in and now I’m going to add a bit of oil made with uh made by uh Israeli and Palestinian uh people who are trying to.
Bring peace to that part of the world so we like that we like bringing peace and I like adding a little olive oil olive oil is my oil of choice there are many other kinds of oils people use but it’s really important that you get organic uh healthy oils and I don’t know how my mother got away with using Crisco and things like that and you lard and.
People use all sorts of oils but that’s not where we’re going so we’ve got the oil in Here and Now what we’re going to do I’m just to let that sit for a minute and then we’re going to get ready and add some vegetables so the first vegetable I will add is zucchini and what we end up with is a.
Pretty healthy um piece of um well basically very healthy um snack or almost like part of a main meal super good and so what I do here is I I um kind of like it’s not it’s it’s chopping it’s basically chopping and I could do this by hand but it’s kind of Handy to do it here I’m going to do this a couple of times.
And we’ve got zucchini and this is called a ninja it’s like my favorite little device because how long it would take me to chop and how many little Cuts i’ get on my fingers uh is avoided so I just keep going through.
These things I think might make that a little finer I brought this uh particular dish to potluck recently and it sits on the table for a little while until people try it and then they all want seconds because it’s um kind of has a nice flavor and it’s also pretty healthy for.
You extremely Healy for you actually and there’s a way this goes on so I find rather than I find that it’s easier to get the um vegetables mixed in when the flour is still kind of uh dry once I get the then I’m going to add some more liquids later you will be able to go to my blog.
If you want and get the exact recipe or as exact as possible as I said I’m not the best recipe person okay so these are next thing is carrots we’re going to put in carrots the more colorful something is the better I don’t know it seems like it’s just a little almost a little healthier for you so I’m going to go ahead and put in a few carrots and I did.
Wash them already so we’ll get these in and then continue with the process and put those in and this is all going to get cooked in the oven let me get these things going a little bit cuz I got to get all kind of Blended up in here with the flowers so.
As you can see what we’ve got is a very rich vegetable based um food super good food what do we think I think I might hold off on the other carrot two carrots two little zucchinis but now what I’m going to do is put some this uh pepper in and that kind of makes it real.
Special because again what’s going to happen is um everything will get cooked up but the some reason the because the peppers have so much um moisture in them it helps also to keep this uh cornbread very moist I think with the peppers I’m not going to blend them up chop them up just chop them not not mince them because.
They might turn into a liquid and I don’t want them to be liquid I want them to be liquid when you take a bite and put it in your mouth and it’s so yummy can’t believe how good it is and that is what we want to have happen so put some of these in here and salt is good for us actually I think um in our modern American diet we.
Eat way too much salt but I um don’t want I I think it’s important to have salt in I know it’s important to have a salt in our diet so there’s this now let’s just get these mixed up a little bit but what I’m going to do now is I’m going to add some almond milk actually I think I’m also going to add a little bit of maple syrup.
Because just because cuz it’ll be a little bit more yummy don’t have to have much and again I never use sugar but a little maple syrup or little honey is good now if I were making it as a more of a sweet uh food I would probably add more but this is just to give it a little nice.
Taste and how’s that look that look good all right now it’s looking quite nicely mixed up again we had all the the flour and the baking powder already mixed in that’s and the and the salt it’s very important to have that ahead of time other things can get mixed up a little bit more so what we’re going to.
Do now is add some um almond milk and I’m just going to kind of work it till I get the right consistency because and you could use you could use regular milk if you want or hemp milk or soy milk or something else but what we’re aiming toward is getting it to be the consistency of a cake mix.
And then we should be ready to get it going in the oven I have the oven preheated to 350° it’s getting a little warm in here I’m just getting this to be kind of not runny or anything but just a bit I think this is feeling about right because then once it starts baking it’s going to be very you know it’ll all.
Start holding it together and then we’ll have a nice yummy meal okay so that’s what we’ve got now wo let’s not pour it out the counter woohoo and if it’s a little more moist um than less it might take a little longer to cook um but that doesn’t matter it’s all.
Good I’m going to cook this for about 45 minutes and then I’ll test it and make sure it cooked well enough but I think that might be good and voila we have our moist gluten-free cornbread ready to go organic non GMO all the good.
Stuff so we’re going to put this in the oven now there we go I’m going to set the clock for the timer for 45 minutes all right let’s uh get some fresh air so here we go we got some nice cornbread it looks like it’s um looks pretty good so what I’m going to do is.
Just uh test it this is how you test and you hope that it doesn’t end up with anything on it whoops and I’m going to put this in and looks like it’s pretty good so do check out um my blog I will put a recipe up on the blog and then you’ll be able to kind of catch up with how to do it I’m like I.
