Ingredients

• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Neutral-flavored vegetable oil (such as canola or avocado oil)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a square 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients: plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vegetable oil. Stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes; the vinegar will slightly curdle the milk, mimicking buttermilk.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the pan.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with vegan butter, maple syrup, or alongside your favorite soup or chili.
