Skillet Cornbread With Green Chiles and Cinnamon

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.
-
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
- Preheat your oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a 10-inch iron skillet.
- Combine the first nine ingredients (cornmeal through brown sugar) in a bowl and whisk.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Egg Replacer with the oil and water and beat for one minute.
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Grill leftover slices in a little olive oil for a savory winter treat.
