Description

This cornbread is everything you want in a classic side — cozy, tender, and perfectly plant-based.

With a golden crumb that's soft on the inside and a hint of sweetness on the tongue, it's a crowd-pleasing side that pairs beautifully with a big bowl of chili, a pot of beans, or your favorite hearty stew.

A touch of optional corn kernels adds bursts of juicy corn flavor, and scallions bring a subtle savory note that keeps each bite interesting.

Whether you're serving it warm from the oven or saving leftovers for snacking, this vegan cornbread brings comfort and sunshine to every table.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup corn meal
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup melted vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 vegan eggs (flax egg preferred: 3 tablespoons water + 9 tablespoons ground flax seed total)
  • 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen, thawed - Optional)
  • 1/4 cup diced scallions (green parts only)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan.

    Combine the butter, oil, milk, and egg mixture in a medium bowl.

     

  5. 5

    Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until combined.

     

  6. 6

    If using, fold in the corn kernels and scallion until incorporated into the batter.

     

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with only a few crumbs (no wet batter).

     

  8. 8

    Cool for about 20 minutes in the pan, then slice into squares and serve. 

    Add butter and drizzle with a bit of maple syrup for a sweet treat!
