I made Alissa's chili today and was wishing I had time to make some type of corn chip or something to go with it, but the afternoon was already half over. Then I remembered the blueberry flax pancakes I made yesterday, that took less than 2 hours to make. Could that be adapted to a cornbread? Here is what I came up with:
Soft and Quick Cornbread
12 servings
2 cups of corn (I didn't actually measure this.....I dumped what was left in the bag into the vitamix, but I think it was about this much :rolleyes:)
1/2 cup water
Chunk of onion.....maybe about 1/8 of a good sized onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of chili powder
4 small or two large dates
Mix all the above in a blender until liquid. It will be fairly thin, like thick almond milk.
1/2 cup flax seed, unground
1 1/2 cups flax seed meal (grind about 1 cups flax seed in a coffee grinder)
Place into a bowl and add liquid from blender, then stir till well blended. Place on teflex lined dehydrator sheets in 1/4 cup "plops" and smooth out with a spoon. Mine are about 4 inches in diameter and about 3/8 inch thick. Nine fit nicely on the tray.
Dehydrate for 1 hour at 140 degrees. Then turn directly onto tray and continue dehydratining for another hour at 105 degrees. Serve warm from the dehydrator. Great topped with honey or fruit. Delicious with chili.
NOTE: I am not positive about the flax meal amount! It may have been a little more, because I did double the pancake recipe when I used it yesterday and I think I got mixed up when I was doing this recipe! ARG. So start with 1 1/2 cups of flax meal and add more if it seems runny. The consistancy should be thick but easily spreadable with a spoon (it should not spread on its own).
I am so pleased with how these turned out! They are soft and warm, and have a nice sweet corn taste but it is not overwhelming like some corn chips are. My daughters, who so far do not like any of the corn chips I have made, really liked these. I love how they are ready to eat in just two hours, though they can go another hour and still be a good texture. My flax seeds are the brown ones. Golden ones would lead to a lighter, more cornbreadish appearance. But you can still taste the corn.
