Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons natural sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 3 tablespoons plant-based butter (natural), melted
Additional
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, stir together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and melted plant-based butter (natural) until fully mixed.
- Blend and Add Natural Gelling Agent: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently but thoroughly. Then fold in the natural gelling agent to improve texture and moisture retention.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the sweet cornbread to cool slightly before slicing to keep its fluffy structure intact and enjoy with your favorite accompaniments.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Accurate measurement of cornmeal and flour is key to the perfect crumb.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to avoid tough or dense bread.
- Use Fresh Baking Powder: Ensures your cornbread rises properly with a light texture.
- Warm Your Plant-Based Milk: Slightly warm milk helps blend ingredients smoothly and supports rising.
- Cool Before Cutting: Let the cornbread rest so it sets, making slicing cleaner and easier.
