Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Neutral-flavored vegetable oil (such as canola or avocado oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a square 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients: plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vegetable oil. Stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes; the vinegar will slightly curdle the milk, mimicking buttermilk.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with vegan butter, maple syrup, or alongside your favorite soup or chili.
