Pumpkin Cornbread (Gluten-Free Option)

Moist and tender homemade Pumpkin Cornbread. A delicious seasonal twist on cornbread that’s perfect alongside autumn soups and stews. Can be made gluten-free, if necessary.This Pumpkin Cornbread is a fun and tasty twist on a traditional cornbread. The addition of pumpkin adds a delicious hint of fall-flavor. This cornbread is the ideal accompaniment to the comfort foods we are drawn to as the weather cools. Serve it alongside soup, chili and stew, or enjoy it slathered in our favorite honey butter.

How To Make Pumpkin Cornbread:

1. Combine dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, leavening, salt and spices.
2. Combine wet ingredients: eggs, pumpkin, honey, oil, milk.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
4. Pour the batter into a 9-inch square pan and bake (see note below for making muffins).

This cornbread bakes up moist, tender. It’s slightly sweet with a faint pumpkin flavor that adds to the cornbread without overpowering it. It can served plain or with salted butter and honey.

How to Make Pumpkin Cornbread Gluten Free:

This recipe can easily be made gluten free. Swap the regular all purpose flour for a gluten-free baking blend (no other changes need to be made). Make sure you swap for a 1:1 gluten free baking blend, not just almond flour or coconut flour.

Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

Instead of baking this cornbread in a 9-inch baking pan you can divide the batter between 10-12 muffin cups.  Bake muffins for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

When making this recipe gluten-free I used Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour.

You can also make these into muffins by dividing them between a 12-cup muffin tin and baking at 350° for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
