Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal (yellow or white)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based dairy (milk or yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional

  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven and Prepare the Pan: Begin by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution for balanced flavor and proper rising.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients Separately: In a separate bowl, blend plant-based dairy, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent until well combined to add moisture and depth.
  4. Fold Wet Into Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the cornbread tender and light. If using fresh corn kernels, fold them in carefully now.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool slightly before slicing to maintain perfect texture.

Notes

  • Measure flour and cornmeal accurately to avoid dryness or dense texture.
  • Stir batter just until dry ingredients are moistened to keep crumb light and fluffy.
  • Fresh corn kernels add sweetness and texture that canned or frozen cannot match.
  • Ensure oven temperature is well-calibrated for even baking and golden crust.
  • Allow cornbread to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to improve texture.
