Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons coconut oil plus more for greasing the baking sheet, melted
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 cup almond milk or regular milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup applesauce, at room temperature
1/4 cup sorghum (see Cook's Note)
1 large egg, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil to a 6-inch cast-iron skillet. Put the skillet in the oven and allow to heat until very hot, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with a whisk. In a different bowl, combine the almond milk, applesauce, sorghum, egg and 2 tablespoons coconut oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold to combine.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake until golden with a crisp crust, 25 minutes. Let cool before cutting the cornbread into 1-inch pieces (about 8 cups).
  • Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a baking sheet with some coconut oil and spread the cornbread in a single layer. Be careful, the cornbread is fragile and you don¿t want to be rough with it. Drizzle lightly with the remaining 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet before using.
