Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You should have around 1 cup of mashed bananas.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
