Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 0.5 cup organic cane sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or plant milk of choice)
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, organic cane sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, neutral oil, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or whisk to gently combine the mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.

Step 5

Carefully transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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 7

Remove the cornbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish to soups, chilies, or your favorite meal. Enjoy!
