Healthy Pumpkin "Cornbread"


Recipe From: Laura

Drizzled with butter & honey, this irresistible pumpkin 'cornbread' is yum scrumptious! Kids loved this bread, especially when served with their own lil' individual pumpkin with 'Soup-In-A-Pumpkin' cooked inside.(similar to AUNT BEVERLY'S SOUP).  I swap out the tomato base for Imagine brand organic cream-of-chicken soup)   You could also serve with chili or your favorite fall time soup.

So there’s no actual cornmeal since its grain free, but the combo of coconut flour and honey gives it that delicious cornbread taste.  

Because pumpkin has so much moisture, you’ll find that this pumpkin “cornbread” is more moist than the cornbread that you are used to. Toast it in the oven before serving. Enjoy!



1 cup coconut flour (no substitutes)
¼ cup tapioca starch
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
3 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup coconut milk
¼ cup ghee,melted (preferred but may use coconut oil)
2-3 tbsp honey (omit for sugar-free option)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease an 8x8 baking dish generously with ghee or coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and sea salt.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, coconut milk, ghee, and honey, if using.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix together.
Pour into the prepared baking dish, and spread out the mixture evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Slice into squares and serve toasted with a pat of butter and honey.
