Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal (freshly ground preferred)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 tablespoon natural baking powder
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup egg replacement (plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup fresh or thawed corn kernels (well drained if canned)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend), natural baking powder, granulated sugar (natural), and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, egg replacement, and apple cider vinegar until fully mixed.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold them together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a tender texture. Fold in the fresh or thawed corn kernels for added sweetness and texture.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cornmeal for best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep the cornbread light and tender.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
  • Allow cornbread to rest for 10 minutes after baking to set and enhance flavors.
  • Brush with melted plant-based butter after baking to soften the crust and add richness.
