Skillet Cornbread With Green Chiles and Cinnamon
This Recipe Is:

By
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

This cornbread is moist, tender and totally gluten-free. You can top it with ground cinnamon before you bake it or leave the top plain.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup
    gluten-free stone ground cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup
    sorghum flour, rice flour
  • 1/2 cup
    tapioca starch
  • 1 teaspoon
    xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon
    baking soda
  • 11/2 teaspoons
    baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon
    fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon
    chili powder, or cinnamon, or both
  • 1/2 cup
    organic light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup
    light olive oil, or grape seed oil, plus two tablespoons
  • 1 cup
    water or watered down plain rice milk or almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar added
  • 2 extra tablespoons
    water, if needed - the batter should be like cake batter, and not too thick
  • 1/2 cup
    chopped roasted green chiles, drained
  •  a sprinkle
    chili powder and cinnamon, for topping, if desired
  •  
    egg replacer for 2 eggs, made with warm water, or 2 organic happy eggs
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a 10-inch iron skillet.
  2. Combine the first nine ingredients (cornmeal through brown sugar) in a bowl and whisk.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Egg Replacer with the oil and water and beat for one minute.
  4. Add in the dry ingredients and beat by hand just until a smooth batter is formed, about one minute. Add in the chopped roasted green chiles. (If your batter seems a little dry, add a tablespoon more liquid at a time until you achieve a smooth consistency.)
  5. Heat the prepared skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the batter into the heated skillet and sprinkle a little chili powder and/or cinnamon over the top or the batter if you like.
  6. Bake the cornbread in the center of a preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes (depending upon your altitude), until firm to the touch in the center and slightly golden around the edges. A wooden pick inserted into the center should emerge dry.
  7. Place the skillet on a wire rack and allow the cornbread to rest 15 minutes before cutting. This helps keep the slices from crumbling apart. Serve warm.
  8. Grill leftover slices in a little olive oil for a savory winter treat.
