A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we were swimming in chili peppers.  But can you believe my husband came home with three additional grocery bags of peppers?  I gave away two bags to friends; they didn't take as many as I'd hoped for, but it helped alleviate our pepper abundance.  

I couldn't resist experimenting in the kitchen.  I've come up with so many recipes for chili peppers that I might assemble them into a collection soon.  I've thrown them into my morning eggs, added them to our chili, and then the idea hit me: a spicy cornbread recipe.  

Sounded delicious to me, how about you?  When I contemplated a bread recipe, I thought, "Why reinvent the wheel when I've already created some fantastic recipes?"  So, I quickly changed course and decided to adapt the oat bread recipes I developed a while back.  

The results?  

Absolutely delightful!  This bread strikes the perfect balance between a bit of spice and a touch of sweetness, making it a fantastic addition to any meal.  Here's how you can craft your own spicy bread recipe: 

Ingredients:

1. 2 cups of oat flour (already made, you can reference our oat bread recipe for more information)
2. 1 1/2 cups gluten free oats
3. 2 t baking powder
4. 1/2 t baking soda
5. 1 T Psyllium husk powder 
6. 1/2 t salt
7. 3/4 c applesauce
8. 1 c pureed hot peppers (wash and place into processor including seeds)
9. 3/4 c almond milk
10. 2 eggs
11. 1/4 cup vegetable oil
12. 1/4 cup honey

Instructions:

1. If you have not already made your oat flour, follow directions on our oat bread recipe 
2. Mix all dry ingredients together, I did use my mixer for the bread because my past experience has taught me bread can be finicky  
3. Add in milk & applesauce, mix
4. Add eggs, vegetable oil, honey, and finally our hot peppers, mix well
5. Pour into greased bread pans, this recipe made 2 small loaves of bread
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes
7. You can drizzle additional honey over the top of your bread while warm if you wish
8. Enjoy!

Note: I used a combination of peppers, red chili peppers, Hungarian peppers, and green chili peppers.  You can use peppers you have on hand.  

After these peppers were pureed, it equaled one cup

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I added the hot peppers to this recipe, especially since I didn't bother seeding the peppers.  I threw everything into the food processor and thought, "This will be an adventure."  As you may know if you've been following our recipes, I'm an untrained, no-fuss rookie who goes with the flow 100% of the time.  

You ight wonder why I share my recipes if I just wing it.  Well, my husband is the taste tester, who gives me a thumbs up, and that's my signal to share.  If I get that dreaded thumbs down, I work quickly to fix my mistakes.    

The other reason I share is that I must follow a gluten-free diet due to allergies.  When I started on this journey, it was a struggle to find gluten-free recipes, so I hope I can offer an easier path for those who need to live a gluten free lifestyle.  It would have been a great help for me back then.  I also don't use fancy ingredients; I cook with things that are typically found in most American kitchens.  

Let us know what you think.  I'm curious if anyone else would be daring enough to make a hot pepper bread, or if I'm the only one who immediately thought of bread when my fridge was overflowing with peppers.  Enjoy your weekend!
