Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy milk)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, mix together the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the applesauce and vegetable oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture, and mix well to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing it into squares and serving.
Enjoy warm as a side dish to your favorite vegan chili or soup.
