Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup medium grind cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/4 cup natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave nectar)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, blend plant-based milk, natural sweetener, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and fresh corn kernels until smooth and uniform.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cornbread tender and moist.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cornbread to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to ensure a perfect set and easy serving.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients precisely using proper measuring cups for best results.

  • Use fresh sweet corn kernels for superior moisture and flavor.
  • Baking in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautiful crust and even cooking.
