Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread (With No Corn)

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.Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread

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!

I guest posted this Paleo Pumpkin Cornbread recipe on Lauren Geertsen’s blog, Empowered Sustenance, so go check it out there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom of a 4x8 inch rectangular loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl combine the ingredients for the crust. Evenly press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

  2. Bake for 10-15 minutes. The crust is done when it is lightly brown and firm to the touch. Let the crust cool before spreading the filling.

  3. In a bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut oil, 3 tbsp raw honey. Mix and reserve about ¼ of the mixture for the chocolate topping. Spread the almond butter filling onto the cooled crust. Place the bars in the freezer to firm up before spreading the chocolate mixture on top of the almond filling.

  4. To make the chocolate topping, add unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 tbsp of honey (or more, if needed) to the reserved almond butter filling.

  5. Spread on top of the semi-frozen bars. Place in the fridge to firm. Store the bars in the refrigerator.

Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin (AIP)

It’s so easy to make this Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam without pectin that’s tart and delicious. It takes just a few ingredients and lasts for over 3 months in the fridge!

Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin

Well, the weather is finally warming up little by little and I couldn’t be more excited for it to be fully in Spring mode when it comes to produce. I even saw strawberries at the farmers market over the weekend and I can’t wait for all the other various berries to come out and play. But while we are still in between seasons, I decided to whip up some yummy jam using my favorite fruit, blueberries, and a winter fruit that’s almost out of season, oranges.

Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin Recipe

Blueberries weren’t out yet the last time I checked, so I used frozen blueberries to make this Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam and it turned out so tart and fabulous. And with this recipe, you don’t even need to use pectin, which usually contains GMO corn that I would rather avoid if possible.

Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin

So you ready to start jammin’? This clean guilt-free jam is sweetened just with fruits and honey, and because it doesn’t use pectin, you have to cook it down much longer than a regular jam. The result is so thick but spreadable, and the combination of flavors from the blueberries and oranges is so tart and delicious.

Ways to Enjoy Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam without Pectin

This Paleo Orange Blueberry Jam isn’t canned, so it’s better to make a small batch at a time and store it in the refrigerator or freezer. It makes about a cup of jam and lasts for over 3 months in the fridge, so you have plenty of time to eat it on your favorite crackers, toast, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, yogurt, or any kind of creamy dessert. I bet it’s even yummy with some cheese like brie if you can do dairy.

However you want to eat it, it’s a delicious sweet condiment to have around if you are looking for a fruity treat!
