Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow corn meal
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 inch pan or alternatively, a 9 inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir them together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and canola oil into the dry mix. Stir well until the batter is smooth and fully combined without any lumps.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness—insert in the center; if it comes out clean, the cornbread is ready.
  • For a slightly crispier crust, bake a few extra minutes but watch closely to avoid overbaking.
  • Can swap almond milk with any other plant-based milk like soy or oat milk.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in diced jalapeños, vegan cheese, or corn kernels.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
