Pumpkin Cornbread (Gluten-Free Option)

Pumpkin Cornbread – Moist and tender homemade pumpkin cornbread with a slight sweetness and subtle pumpkin flavor. A delicious seasonal twist on cornbread. It can also be made gluten-free, if necessary.Hi there! I’m keeping it short and sweet today. We have a busy day filled with football, Halloween costume prep, and a pumpkin carving party. I hope you have fun plans too!

Pumpkin Cornbread

I’ve made this Pumpkin Cornbread twice recently. It is absolutely perfect for this time of year. The addition of pumpkin adds a delicious seasonal twist, and it’s the ideal accompaniment to the comfort foods we are drawn to as the weather cools. A warm slice of pumpkin cornbread slathered in butter and drizzled in honey is great on its own, or served alongside chili, soup, or stew.

This cornbread is moist, tender, slightly sweet, and subtly spiced. It has a faint pumpkin flavor that adds to the cornbread without overpowering it.

Prefer Gluten Free Pumpkin Cornbread?

As an added bonus, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free! I’ve tried this recipe with regular all purpose flour, as well as a gluten-free baking blend, and it was fantastic both ways! Whichever way you make it, I hope that you enjoy it as much as my family did!

Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

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

Recipe 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.
