I know Joanna just posted a good-looking recipe, so don't forget to look at that, but I wanted to get this one posted before chili cook-offs. If you are supposed to make cornbread for your chili cookoff, here's a good recipe.
Pumpkin Cornbread
1 c flour
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c cornmeal
2 eggs
1 c pumpkin
1/4 c oil
1 T honey/molasses
Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
I cheated a little and substituted the flour/baking powder/salt with food storage pancake mix that expired. I also decreased the sugar a little since the pancake mix has some. It was good! I usually prefer sweet cornbreads, and this falls in the category. I made it to go with a pumpkin chili. I couldn't taste the pumpkin in the chili, but the cornbread had the perfect amount.
This is just about my favorite thing to do with pumpkin and I am already planning on making it for dinner tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I didn't make the pumpkin dessert I considered last night, we could have had pumpkin week on the blog.
I made these (12 muffins) for our chili cook off and am pretty sure they were gone by the time the first 12 people went through the line.
ReplyDeleteThe batter was delicious. I will have to remember this recipe.
