Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking pan to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent until evenly blended for consistent texture.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and maple syrup (natural) until smooth and slightly frothy for even incorporation.
- Fold in Fresh Corn: Stir fresh corn kernels into the wet mixture gently to distribute bursts of sweetness evenly.
- Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour wet ingredients into dry and fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix to preserve tender crumb.
- Bake to Perfection: Transfer batter to prepared pan, smooth the top gently, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let cornbread cool in the pan before slicing to set the texture and make serving easier.
Notes
- Use fresh corn kernels for natural sweetness and crunch.
- Do not overmix batter to keep cornbread soft and tender.
- Use the recommended amount of natural gelling agent to avoid dense texture.
- Preheat baking pan in the oven for a crispier crust.
- Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid under or overbaking.
