Description

A straightforward recipe for sweet cornbread made without any animal products.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk (soy or almond recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix the plant milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute the vegetable oil with melted vegan butter.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup.
  • This cornbread stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
