Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your baking dish with plant-based butter. In a large bowl, measure and combine the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, natural sweetener, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, melted plant-based butter, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until well combined. The vinegar will interact with the baking soda to help the cornbread rise gently.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl, stirring just until no dry spots remain. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cornbread stays tender. Fold in the sweet corn kernels evenly.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Keep it moist by not overbaking and checking early to prevent dryness.
  • Use fresh corn kernels when possible for best flavor and texture.
  • Mix gently to avoid developing gluten which can make the cornbread tough.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better rise.
  • Adjust the amount of natural sweetener to your taste preference.
