Orange Craisin Cornbread

 
In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• 2 lg. eggs
• 1/3c light olive oil
• 
  1/2c coconut milk
• 2+T finely chopped 'cutie' orange peel
• 1/3c sunflower seeds
• 1/3c craisins

In another bowl, whisk together:

• 1 pkg. Martha White cornbread mix
• 3T oat bran
• 2T ground chia and flax seed
• 1t baking powder
• 1/2t baking soda
• 1/2t salt
• 3/4t fresh ground pepper

Preheat the oven to 375° Slowly add the dry ingredients to the first bowl, whisking well.  Pour into a 9" x 9" oiled pan, sprinkle the top with Everything Bagel Seasoning or toasted sesame seeds.  Bake for 30 minutes, check it with a toothpick.  If it comes out clean and the edges are nicely browned, it's done!! The fruitiness of this went so well with the other ingredients, and it's perfect with the Bean and Barley Vegetable Soup I made this morning.
