Best served about a half hour after baking –it will be cool enough to slice but still warm enough that butter (organic, from pastured cows or organic vegan butter of your choice) will melt right in.
1/2cup milk(organic cow’s milk or soy milk or almond milk)
2eggsfree-range pastured
1tbspmaple syrup(or 2 tablespoons if you prefer a slightly sweeter corn bread)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8-inch by 4-inch by 4-inch Pyrex glassware loaf pan. If not allergic to dairy, use organic butter from pastured cows. If you prefer to avoid dairy, use coconut oil.
Roast pumpkin seeds for Topping
Toss ½ cup of organic pumpkin seeds with 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin olive oil and ½ teaspoon of each of the following spices: cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper plus ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
Spread evenly over a cookie sheet and roast at 225 degrees F for 5-10 minutes, until toasted. Keep an eye on them while roasting as seeds can quickly burn.
While your pumpkin seeds are roasting
Add the 3 tablespoons of chia seeds to ½ cup of water, so they will be soaking while you get the rest of your ingredients ready.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients and stir to mix well.
In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Add the chia seeds last, so they have around 10 minutes soaking to become fully glutinous. Stir to mix well. Then one cup at a time, mix in the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into your greased bread pan, top with a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds, lightly pressing them into the dough with a spoon. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch.
