Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 6 people

Ingredients
  

  • 160 g yellow cornmeal
  • 140 g all-purpose flour
  • 100 g white granulated sugar, make sure it’s vegan
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240 g plantbased milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 30 g agave nectar, or other liquid sweetener, like maple syrup
  • 80 g neutral oil, (grapeseed, canola, vegetable...)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F and grease a 7-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vinegar, agave and oil.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk until smooth and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too much, cover it loosely with aluminium foil and continue baking.
  • Let it cool about 10 minutes in the pan before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • *Disclaimer: I have a tiny not-so-great oven, so your bake time may vary from mine. 
  • I strongly suggest making recipes by weight, if you make them by cups I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the same results.
  • If you like your cornbread even sweeter, you can increase the amount of sugar by up to 30g more.
