Ingredients

  • 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 kosher salt

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 425°F and lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, combine oat milk and lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise, the milk mixture, and melted butter.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Don’t overmix—just a few turns of the whisk are enough.
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the cornmeal to absorb moisture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm.
