Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups yellow cornmeal
  • ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup oat milk or another dairy alternative
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • 2 whole large eggs or ⅓ cup of apple sauce for a vegan-friendly option

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 375F and measuring out all the ingredients. If using a cast iron skillet, you can place the skillet in the oven now to pre-heat it as well. Measure out the dry in ingredients and sift them all into a large bowl.

  • Next measure out your wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Lightly whisk the eggs before adding the remaining wet ingredients to ensure everything is well mixed.

  • Before mixing the wet and dry ingredients together, grease whatever baking dish or skillet you plan on baking the cornbread in with a high-heat vegetable oil. Be careful with a cast iron skillet if you pre-heated it in the oven and always place hot pans on a dry dishtowel instead of directly on the counter or stovetop to prevent damaging any kitchen surfaces.

  • After 20 minutes check the cornbread with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, and the cornbread is firm in the center it is finished baking! Serve the cornbread while warm for the best results!
