Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal (preferably stone-ground)
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

• 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and turmeric.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, apple cider vinegar, melted coconut oil, and the prepared flax egg until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
