Quick Pumpkin Cornbread

Top Chef, Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics," comfy pants, and pumpkin quick bread. This is my night, and it's glorious.




Holy cow this is delicious! And relatively healthy! This was my first time making a quick bread, and I think I might be hooked. Looks a little goofy, but this came together in five minutes and it blew my mind.

Quick Pumpkin Cornbread
adapted from this recipe
makes one serving 

2 tablespoons brown rice flour
2 tablespoons gluten-free cornmeal 
1 tablespoon buckwheat flour
1/2 tablespoon ground flax meal
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup nonfat milk
3 tablespoons pumpkin purée 
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Whisk together dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and mix until smooth and uniform in color. Dough will be thick, don't over mix. 

Pour into a greased microwave save bowl (mine was about 4 inches in diameter). Microwave on high for 2 minutes. 

Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the bread and enjoy all to yourself!


Little dome of moist deliciousness.
