If you are a pumpkin lover, you are going to want to make this Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread made with coconut flour and honey and no grains! It’s amazing drizzled with honey and butter.
My very first pumpkin recipe of this season is here, and it does not disappoint! If you avoid most grains like me and are missing some cornbread in your life, this Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread may just fulfill your cravings. I used to be OBSESSED with cornbread growing up and used to get cornbread muffins anytime I saw them, so I’m so excited that this recipe turned out so well.
Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread Recipe
These days, corn and gluten bother my stomach, so I have to make my own paleo and grain free version that I can enjoy. And with Fall just around the corner, I thought it would be super tasty to add one of my favorite ingredients this time of year: pumpkin!
The result is pretty darn fantastic, if I do say so myself. While there is no corn in this, the combination of coconut flour and honey really do impart that cornbread flavor well with the slight sweetness, and the added pumpkin creates another level of flavor that goes so well with the rest of the ingredients.
Texture Difference from Regular Cornbread
Because this Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread is gluten- and grain-free and has pumpkin added in, the texture will be a bit different than regular cornbread that you are familiar with. Pumpkin has a ton of moisture so whenever you add it to a recipe, especially baked goods, you have to expect a moister and denser result.
If you don’t like how moist it turns out, I highly recommend you take individual cut squares and toast them in the oven or on a pan. This will dry it up a bit and firm it up a bit like a regular cornbread. Plus, the toasty crispiness you get from outer layer and edges just makes it even more delicious, which I’m a huge fan of!
This Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread is best served with some chili or soup, but you can eat it alone like I do after toasting it with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey. I purposely didn’t make it too sweet so I can add a bit more honey to it afterwards, because it’s seriously so good that way!
