Servings: 9 large pieces of cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- ½ cup white sugar
- 5 tablespoons vegan butter melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup corn kernels fresh or frozen (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8" x 8" pan.
- In a large bowl, add everything together except for the corn kernels. Stir until just combined—be sure not to overmix! (A few lumps are perfectly fine.) If you’re using corn kernels, add them in now and stir just 2-3 more times to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: This cornbread freezes beautifully! Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Cornbread Muffins: To make muffins, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with muffin liners. Prepare the batter as directed, then divide evenly into 10–12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version. The texture may be slightly different, but it will still be delicious!
- Jalapeño Option: For a spicy kick, stir in 1–2 finely chopped jalapeños when adding the corn kernels. This adds a delicious heat that pairs perfectly with the sweet and buttery cornbread!
