Cornmeal
Bread
3/4 cup of cornmeal
1 1/4 cups of water
1 cup of flour (I use whole wheat)
1/4 cup sugar, preferably demedera or brown
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. of Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. of Nutmeg
1 egg
3 large tablespoons E.D. Smith Pure Pumpkin
1/4 cup raisins (soak in warm water to plump for approx. 10 minutes and let dry)
4-6 dates chopped
6-8 dried apple slices or fresh apple, chopped
Shredded carrot/sweet potato/broccoli (bags from store)
any combination of nuts...just throw em' in, Brazil nuts, unsalted Cashews, Macadamia, pistachios (unsalted) etc...
Pre-heat oven to 400
In a bowl combine cornbread and water and let sit for 10 minutes.
Combine flour, sugar if using, baking powder, raisins, dates, apples & nuts in large bowl.
Add egg and pumpkin to the cornmeal mixture and mix well.
Add dry ingredients to the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
Line a loaf pan, cake pan or muffin pan with parchment paper, pour in batter and bake for about 15-20 minutes.
Test centre and make sure knife comes out clean if not return to oven for a few more minutes.
Remove from oven, serve warm....they love it.
I use this same recipe and substitute the fruit & nuts with veggies like Zucchini, Broccoli and shredded Carrot.
I add red pepper flakes to give a change.
While adding shredded carrots/sweet potato….this increased the water content. You may have to cook longer or add more flour.
