Paleo Cornbread
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. ghee or grass-fed butter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup arrowroot
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 Tbsp. coconut flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup palm shortening melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add ghee to a 9 inch cast iron skillet and put the pan in the oven to heat.
- While the skillet and oven heat, make the batter by combining all the dry ingredients in one bowl (almond flour, flaxseed meal, arrowroot, salt, baking soda and coconut flour) and all the wet ingredients in another bowl (eggs, shortening, honey and almond milk).
- Mix the dry ingredients well and mix the wet ingredients well. Now add the wet to the dry and mix to combine. Don't over work the batter, just get it all combined. A rubber spatula works well for this.
- Remove skillet from oven, swirl to make sure the melted ghee is coating the entire bottom and sides of the skillet. Remember that it is hot! Put a pot holder over the handle so you don't accidentally touch it. Pour the batter into the pan, being careful not to splatter the melted ghee. Spread the batter evenly.
- Bake 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just one or two crumbs attached. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into desired pieces.
