Ingredients

1 Cup Cornmeal
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
½ tsp. Salt
¼ Cup Sugar
1 Cup Non-Dairy Milk (explore different types of plant-milk recipes)
1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a cast iron skillet, place it in the oven as it heats.
In a small bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to curdle, creating a vegan buttermilk.
1 Cup Non-Dairy Milk, 1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:
1 Cup Cornmeal, 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder, ½ tsp. Salt, ¼ Cup Sugar
Add the vegetable oil and curdled milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
Remove the hot skillet from the oven (carefully!) and grease it lightly with some extra oil or vegan butter.
Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
