Equipment

  • 1 8x8 inch Square Baking Pan
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups Cornmeal see note
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt ½ teaspoon if using table salt
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Cups Non-Dairy Milk I used oatmilk
  • 6 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon White Vinegar

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine
    1 ½ Cups Cornmeal, 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • In a large bowl, combine non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, sugar, and white vinegar. Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to form the batter. Set aside to rest at room temperature while the oven preheats.
    2 Cups Non-Dairy Milk, 6 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted and cooled, 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar, 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
  • Turn oven to 400*F. Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan.
  • Once the oven is preheated, scrape the cornbread batter into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spatula to spread it out evenly, then bake in a 400*F oven for 26-28 minutes, or until the edges are lightly brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Be sure to use cornmeal and not polenta or corn grits! They will be too coarse.
I like this brand of cornmeal.
The resting time is important, so don't skip it! It allows the cornmeal time to soften and absorb some of the liquid from the batter.
