Ingredients
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy milk)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl or large measuring cup, mix together the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Step 4
Add the applesauce and vegetable oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture, and mix well to combine.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing it into squares and serving.
Step 9
Enjoy warm as a side dish to your favorite vegan chili or soup.
