Ingredients
 
 

Dry ingredients:

  • 150 g fine cornmeal
  • 150 g all purpose flour (or plain flour) (spooned and levelled, if using cups)
  • 75 g coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet ingredients:

  • 300 ml dairy free milk
  • 150 g coconut oil (melted and cooled)

Instructions
 

  • PREHEAT the oven to 165°C fan (185°C conventional / 365°F / gas mark 5).
  • PREPARE a 20cm (8”) square baking tin by lightly greasing it, or lining it with parchment paper if it is not non-stick.
  • COMBINE THE DRY INGREDIENTS. Whisk together in a large bowl.
    150 g fine cornmeal, 150 g all purpose flour (or plain flour), 75 g coconut sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
  • ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS and gently whisk together until combined. Don’t beat the mixture.
    300 ml dairy free milk, 150 g coconut oil
  • BAKE in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is lightly golden and a knife or skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean (or with a few dry crumbs on it).
    NOTE: If you see any wet batter, place the cornbread back in the oven for a couple of minutes before checking again.
  • COOL the cornbread slightly before slicing into squares and serving.
  • SERVE with dairy free butter or jam.
  • TO STORE, wrap leftovers in eco-cling film and place in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

Vegan / Dairy Free / Egg Free / Refined Sugar Free
Recipe inspired by: USA
- Use fine cornmeal to avoid a gritty texture.
- Weigh your ingredients for best results, rather than using cups.
- Be careful not to over-bake - it can dry out the cornbread. Test the cornbread at 25 minutes bake time by inserting a knife or skewer into the centre; if it comes out clean (or with a few dry crumbs), it’s done, if there is any wet batter then bake for 2 more minutes before testing again.
