Sweet Potato Cornbread

3 large free-range eggs
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sweet potato/yam puree
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg)
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup GF flour mix*
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt

*There are many variations here, but this is a good basic flour mix:
2 cups rice flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca starch/flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom of an 8 inch cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs till frothy and add the oil; whisk to combine. Add the sweet potato puree and whisk well. Add the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and spices and whisk.

In a separate bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour mix, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring by hand just enough to make a smooth batter. Pour into the prepared cake pan.

Bake in the center of your oven for 45 minutes or so.
