Shorter Days Make Me Want Baked Gluten Free Comfort Foods

Since the weather's changed, it gets dark at stupid-o'clock in the afternoon around here now. It's dark an hour after Mark comes home from work, and way before we eat our dinner.

Quite frankly, it gets dark way, way before I want it to. So, I'm feeling too much dark in several areas of my life. Mark and my's back patio afternoon wind-down time is now cut short. Which means we're barely taking in any moving cloud action before the sky goes completely dark. Sigh.

And, I'm sooo tired each early dark night that I want to go to bed at like 6:30. (And sometimes I do!!)

This darkness also makes me hungry for baked goods, y'all. Yep. I'm craving the warmness in our kitchen, and the 'oooh it's going to be sooo good' smells coming out of the oven.

But, most of all, I'm craving the internal hug that only warm gluten free baked comfort foods can bring you. So, I decided to make a gluten free skillet cornbread.

Gluten Free Skillet Cornbread is Sooo Easy, Y'all

Using just 10 ingredients, this gluten free skillet cornbread comes together quickly and easily. After preheating the oven, I poured eggs, milk, plain Greek yogurt, self-rising cornmeal, cassava flour, and the remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl of my stand mixer.

Then, I poured the thick batter into my greased 9-inch skillet:

And then I baked the gluten free skillet cornbread for about 30 minutes before taking it out of the oven to cool slightly:

Once 10 minutes had passed, it was all Mark and I could do to get the pictures taken before we straight tore into the gluten free skillet cornbread. It was worth the wait. The creamed corn and Greek yogurt really work together to add a creaminess to the cornbread. And, the small amount of sugar takes just the right edge off of the otherwise savory concoction. It just works, y'all, especially if you top it with butter. Yep and yay for this easy gluten free skillet cornbread, and see y'all on the yum side...
