Golden Sweet Cornbread (not TF/GF)

This is my families favorite cornbread recipe.

This is NOT NT/TF & NOT Gluten Free.

I use Karina's Skillet cornbread when I need GF.

But for those who can eat anything....here you go. I serve this mostly with my Chicken Taco Soup :) ENJOY!

Golden Sweet Cornbread

Ingred:
1 C WW Flour (I use Hard white)
1 C OG Cornmeal
2/3 C Sucanat
1 tsp Sea Salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan with Cococnut oil.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add in egg & oil (best emulsified together first) and milk to the dry ingredients...until well combined. Pour batter in prepared pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted come out clean.

Morning Glory Muffins

Lots of yummy ingredients make up these muffins. These are a kid favorite at my house.

Ingredients:

4 C Freshly ground White WW flour (GF- Pamela's Baking Mix)
2 1/2 C Sucanat
4 tsp Baking Soda
4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 C Carrots, shredded
1 C Pineapple, crushed w/juice
1/2 C Raisins
1/2 C Craisins
1/2 C unsweet flaked coconut
1 apple,peeled, cored & shredded
3 eggs
1 C Virgin Coconut Oil (emulsified w/egg)
1 1/2 C unsweet applesauce
2 tsp Vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl mix together flour, sucanat, baking soda, cinnamon & salt. Stir in carrots, raisins, coconut & apple.

In a separate bow, beat together eggs & oil until emulsified, add then mix in vanilla. Stir eggg mixture into the carrot/flour mixture just until moist. Do not overmix or your muffins with be too dense and tough.

Scoop batter into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Great with cream cheese frosting

Meal Plan – March 20th - 29th

Sorry...life has been crazy. My plan last week changed TONS.....so you will see repeats this week that were never made. The next 2 weeks are even worse so my plan includes lots of "quick meals", freezer meals and planned leftovers.

I PROMISE to get back to adding in recipes and links soon. Feel free to leave me a comment if you want any specific recipes first. I will focus on them. I have had several requests for the Morning Glory Muffins. The original recipe is off allrecipes.com I have only made it once and haven't perfected them yet. I am trying them again next week and should be able to post then. :)
