Ingredients

• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vegan butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and vegetable oil. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Preheat a large, non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the vegan butter and spread it around to coat the entire surface of the pan evenly.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it out into an even layer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 6

Cook for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the top of the cornbread looks set and the edges start to pull away slightly from the pan.

Step 7

To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is ready.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and let the cornbread cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Carefully remove the cornbread from the skillet, slice it into wedges, and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with additional maple syrup or serve with vegan butter.
