cornbread with butter in a white pie dish

The best gluten free pumpkin cornbread (or cornbread muffins) you will every make!

The best pairing with your cozy bowls of chili or soup.

It couldn’t be easier to make. Just a handful of simple ingredients, and a pretty fool-proof recipe! This is 100% a fall and winter staple in our house.

This pumpkin cornbread can be made in a skillet, a pie dish, or as muffins. Whatever you’ve got on hand or feel like making! The muffin version will have a shorter bake time, so be sure to note that in the directions!

I love pairing this cornbread with my chicken and veggie chili. It’s the perfect pair!

You can also serve them on their own with some butter and honey. Perfect for your fall gatherings, Thanksgiving tables, or even for meal prep!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar 
  • 1/2 cup grass fed butter, melted and cooled 
  • 1/3 cup dairy free milk 
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal 
  • 1 tbsp baking powder 
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and generously butter a 9” pie dish or cast iron skillet, or line a cupcake tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin, eggs, coconut sugar, butter, and milk of choice. 
  3. In a separate bowl, combine all remaining dry ingredients.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Pour into pie dish and use a spatula to evenly smooth the batter out. For muffins, scoop the batter into 12 muffins.

    Hi, could you also make this as muffins? Any different bake time? Thank you for another great recipe!

  2. Jackie says:

    Can u make these with regular flour? Will the measurements be the same?

  3. Colleen c says:

    Made these in muffin tins and topped with the Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter. Will definitely make again!

  4. Micaela says:

    Can you make these with vegan butter or ghee for a dairy free option?

  5. Abby says:

    Just curious if this is suppose to be a pretty thick batter? Mine was almost too thick to stir and more like dough so I added an extra splash or two of almond milk. Hopefully I didn’t measure something wrong lol. Fingers crossed it still bakes up okay! Loving all of your recipes 😊

  6. Madeline says:

    We make this recipe a few times each fall and love it! I sometimes use regular flour because we’re not GF and it works really well. My husband loves that it has a touch of pumpkin without being overwhelming. We make it with the Chicken Chili Mia recommends, and paired it with other soups/chili’s too!

    Holiday must on our table!!

  8. Carly Snyder says:

    These are so perfect with any soup or chili!
