Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, organic cane sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, neutral oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or whisk to gently combine the mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.
Carefully transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to soups, chilies, or your favorite meal. Enjoy!
