Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, egg whites (or flax egg), and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced jalapenos and corn kernels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
