It is the season to plan winter meals and try out some holiday options to plan a menu! Lets start with this soft and delicious cornbread

This Pumpkin Cornbread comes together very quickly. The pumpkin and the spices add a wonderful flavor and moistness to it. Just a touch of maple to keep it lightly sweet. It is perfect to snack on as is, and also great made more sweeter or savory. For a sweeter version, add some sugar and add more pumpkin pie spice. Add dried fruit or other additions. For a savory cornbread, reduce the maple, add some garlic powder, nutritional yeast, herbs! 

Serve it with chili, soups, or slice thin to make sandwiches. What’s your favorite way to eat cornbread?

Ingredients 
 

Wet:

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp oil, (organic safflower or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup almond milk, or other non dairy milk to make nut-free
  • 1 tsp vinegar, (apple cider or white)

Dry:

  • 1/2 cup flour, (I use unbleached all purpose)
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, (more or less to preference)
  • 1/3 tsp salt , (or scant 1/2 tsp)
  • 3/4 cup fine or medium cornmeal

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
  • In a bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and mix well. Sift in the flour, baking powder, soda, spices and salt.
  • Add in the cornmeal and mix to combine. Transfer the batter to prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to even it out. 
  • Bake for 34 to 37 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then remove from pan and cool for another 10 minutes before slicing. (You can also bake the batter into cornbread muffins. Bake for 20-24 minutes).

Notes

To make this gluten-free: Use bob's red mill 1:1 blend for the all purpose flour.

    Kind of bland tasting. I’ll toast and add more maple syrup or vegan butter. Texture is good.

    1. Richa says:

      Just add more maple / sugar and more salt. It’s a side bread to serve with chilies or soups. But you can add more flavor as needed

    I made this a few weeks ago and dreamt of making it again as it was so, so good! Lots of pumpkins from my garden this year, so plan to make it often-. When I printed the recipe I did make one mistake- I accidently tripled it!! So it looks like I’m gonna be eating a lot of it this week… I’m counting it as a happy accident!

    This is a great recipe!
    I’ve made it 3 times now and want to make it for Thanksgiving as muffins. How full should I fill the muffin tin, and how many muffins will it make? Are the instructions for doubling the recipe the same for muffins?
    Thanks! And thank you for all the wonderful recipes!

    1. Vegan Richa Support says:

      Yea double the recipe and fill 3/4 of the muffin tin. They’ll also bake sooner so check 10 mins earlier
