Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
- 5 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with coconut oil.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and turmeric.
In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and the prepared flax egg until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Hippie Cornbread warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on its own or paired with soup, chili, or a fresh salad!
