Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal (fine or medium grind)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or agave nectar)
• 2 tablespoons Neutral vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (optional, for additional sweetness)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square or round baking dish, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using).

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for 2-3 minutes. This will create a buttermilk-like mixture.

Step 4

Add the maple syrup and oil to the almond milk mixture. Whisk together until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cornbread dense.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own, or with a drizzle of vegan butter, maple syrup, or alongside your favorite soups and stews.
