Vegan Cornbread ~

Ingredients for Vegan Cornbread
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup oat milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 5 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
How to Make Vegan Cornbread
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
STEP TWO: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and lemon juice. Set aside for 5 minutes.
STEP THREE: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk mixture, and melted butter.
STEP FOUR: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
STEP FIVE: Add the cornmeal-flour mixture to the mayonnaise-milk mixture, whisking just until combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes, allowing the cornbread to absorb some of the moisture.
STEP SIX: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes then cut into squares and serve.
Tips for Success
Don’t overmix the batter!
- The key to getting a nice rise in the cornbread is resisting the urge to get overly zealous with the stirring. You only want to stir the batter ‘just until combined’ and a few times around the bowl is generally sufficient. Cutting out unnecessary stirring ensures that your bread will come out nice and fluffy every time!
Let the batter rest!
- Taking a 15 minute break to let the batter sit gives the cornmeal a chance to absorb some moisture before heading into the oven for baking.
