This vegan cornbread is wonderfully moist, perfectly sweet, and incredibly easy to make using just one bowl. It pairs beautifully with chili or any hearty meal, making it a perfect plant-based side dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow corn meal
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch pan or a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and canola oil into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until the batter is well combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Bake the Cornbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm alongside your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Whole Grain or Gluten Free: You can substitute the all purpose flour with white whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, or a quality gluten free flour mix to suit dietary needs.
  • Oil-Free Option: Replace the canola oil with applesauce to make the cornbread oil-free without compromising moisture.
  • Cornbread Muffins: For muffins, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C), spray a muffin pan with oil or use liners, fill each cup 3/4 full, and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Adjust Sweetness: This recipe is on the sweeter side, but you can reduce the sugar by half or to a few tablespoons for a less sweet version.
