Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the almond milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk the wet ingredients until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix as this will result in a dense bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the corn bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
