Ingredients

  • 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 1/2 tsp herbes de provence (1 tsp for baking, 1/2 tsp for sprinkling on top)
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
  • 3 tbsp natural cane sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp grapeseed oil or canola oil
  • 1 tbsp egg replacer in 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp white or white wine vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk plus 1/2 - 3/4 cup
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Oil a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place in the oven.

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and the wet ingredients in a separate bowl, except for the ½-¾ cup of coconut milk. Pour the wet ingredients plus the quinoa into the dry ingredients. Mix until well blended.

Take the pan out of the oven and pour the batter into it.

And for the next step, I quote Heidi: “Pour the coconut milk into the center of the batter. Have faith, and do not stir.” I like to make a little “swirl” pattern on top and let the coconut milk flow in. Sprinkle the top with remaining herbs.

Place in the oven and check after about 45-50 minutes. The bread is done when the top is golden and the center is set. If it is not set, turn on the broiler for a few minutes to finish it off. Total cooking time can take up to 60 minutes.

"The product is savory and fragrant from the bouquet of herbes de provence — which is such a great addition. It is crusty on the outside with an interesting variety of textures on the inside. Not your typical cornbread. Plus the addition of quinoa packs it with more fiber and protein – which makes it that much better. This has been, by far, the best cornbread I’ve had." -
