I finally made my mock cornbread yesterday!
I used 1 T of agave instead of the splenda. I don't taste any sweet in it at all, so I think next time I will add quite a bit more. I also think it came out very salty. Otherwise, I am amazed at how "breadlike" this stuff is! I can't wait to make it again-when I can actually taste it- with more agave and less salt! If I can tweak the flavor a little, I may be able to pass it off to the kids. Last night though I had to make them real cornbread.
Heh weird I also made this today for dinner, its definitely "breadlike" almost looks like cornbread. However for some reason mine was soggy and mushy. Even when I gave it more time in the oven, or was it the beans. I also agree it is VERY salty.
Despite that though the batter gave me an idea of some pancakes or something cakey...oh the possibilities with coco powder. Yum.
I can't wait to try this! Although I have been staying away from most eggs I think this will be a great recipe- since going GF I have been eating corn meal a bit and usually I just make a couple corn bread patties to go with soup occasionally and don't add any sweetener, and many times I only add a lil water to make a paste and use cast iron and EVOO... but this recipe is one I am definitely going to try- I will see if I can fool DH ;0) The brownies he wouldn't touch- but thats a lil different! lol
Rikki, my husband liked it. He likes regular corn bread better, but he liked this as well. I don't try to fool him because then I get strange looks when things taste "off".
Kara- I agree, with a skinny hubby who has no need for sbd.... but I think sometimes the idea of "diet""sbd" food makes a def difference in his tastebuds- but at least this one he doesn't have decadent gooey oyee brownies to look for- with my last recipe! lol
Did you use canned beans, RedRock? Did you drain and rinse them well?
I did a big Homer Simpson "doh" I did not rinse the beans, and yes they were canned. I realized my mistake yesterday and opted to try it again as like a bean cake. Unfortunately it was was a combination of jello and pudding type. Probably used the wrong dish pan for it. *sigh* try and try again, right.
