A wonderful gluten-free cornbread, slightly sweet and moist, with a tender crumb.

Serving Size: 1 slice. Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup extra light olive oil
• ¾ cup sweet potato puree
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon bourbon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie spice
• 1 cup stone ground yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup Pamela’s Ultimate Baking Mix
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of sea salt

Nutrition Tip:
Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A and naturally low fat. If you wish to reduce the fat and calories in this recipe, reduce the olive oil in half to ¼ cup.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom of a 7 or 8-inch cake pan and dust it with cornmeal. You can also use a spring form pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, which the eggs till frothy, add the oil; whisk to combine. Add the sweet potato puree and whisk well. (To make the sweet potato puree, bake one large sweet potato in a 400°F oven for about 60 minutes or until soft. Let cool. Remove the skin and mash the baked sweet potato in a small bowl with a fork. Place the mashed sweet potato in a food processor and add enough low fat milk, about ¼ cup, to make a smooth puree)
3. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and pie spice and whisk to combine.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking mix, baking powder and sea salt.
5. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients into the wet; and stir by hand just enough to make a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
6. Bake on a center rack in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or so, until the cornbread is firm to the touch and golden. Check with a wooden toothpick, if necessary; if it emerges clean, the corn bread is done. Cool the corn bread in the pan, on a wire rack for ten minutes.
