    My vegan spelt cornbread recipes is delicious. It is sweet and made with spelt flour giving it some health benefits.

    But this buttermilk dairy free cornbread recipe used in my vegan cornbread dressing recipe because it is more savory and super traditional like how my grandma use to make it. It's so simple to make, all you need is one bowl and some everyday pantry ingredients!

    The ultimate vegan soul food recipe and pairs well with my black eyed pea soup, pressure cooker collard greens, or vegan butter beans!

    Dairy Free Cornbread Key Ingredients

    Apple Cider Vinegar & Plant Based Milk: These two things are how you make vegan buttermilk and what will give your cornbread great flavor and help it rise when baking. I used my sea moss milk for this recipe but you can use whatever plant based milk you have on hand.

    Fine Cornmeal: Be sure your cornmeal is finely grind versus coarse grinded. Trust me, there is a difference.

    All Purpose Flour: You can use any flour you desire but to keep it traditional, I used all purpose flour.

    Baking Powder: This interacts with the apple cider vinegar and helps the cornbread rise.

    Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon soften vegan butter (for greasing pan)
    • 1 cup plant based milk
    • 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • ¾ cup fine yellow cornmeal note 2
    • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ cup organic cane sugar note 3
    • ¼ cup grapeseed oil
    • 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter
    US Customary - Metric

    Equipment

    1 Food Scale note 1
    1 round baking cake pan
    1 Large Mixing Bowl
    measuring cups and spoons
    1 Rubber Spatula

    Instructions

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab your round cake pan and grease it with 1 teaspoon of soften butter. Set aside. In your measuring cup mix together your plant based milk and apple cider vinegar. This will be your butter milk. Set aside.
    • In your large mixing bowl, add in your fine cornmeal, all purpose flour, baking powder, sea salt, and organic cane sugar. Lightly stiff together. In that same bowl add in your vegan butter milk, grapeseed oil, and melted vegan butter. Mix with your dry ingredients until fully combined without over mixing.
    • Grab your greased cake pan and pour in your cornbread batter spreading it evenly into the pain. Place in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. (I did a full 30 minutes to allow it to get more brown at the top).
    • Once done, allow it to cool and serve with your favorite vegan soul food recipes or use in this cornbread recipe in some vegan cornbread dressing!

    Notes

    SCROLL UP TO THE BLOG POST TO SEE STORAGE TIPS, MEAL PREP, AND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECIPE!
    1. FOOD SCALE: I highly recommend when it comes to baking (and accurate macros) to weigh your ingredients. The measurements provided in grams are accurate measurements I personally weighed and it will ensure the most accurate results. You can get an inexpensive food scale on Amazon for about $7 bucks. 
    2. CORNMEAL: Be sure to use fine grinded cornmeal for the best texture of cornbread.
    3. ORGANIC CANE SUGAR: Organic cane sugar ensures that the sugar is vegan (aka not processed through pig bone char). But use whatever sugar is available and accessible to you.  Also this IS NOT a sweet cornbread like my spelt cornbread recipe. If you want it more sweeter, you can add more sugar.

      I made muffins and they were brilliant - I added a couple tablespoons sugar because my partner likes a little sweetness and canola oil in place of grapeseed because it was on hand. Delicious. This recipe is a keeper, thank you so much for sharing!

      Hi Gina can you please send me your full recipe of your vegan cornbread? What if I leave out the salt will it make a big different? I am trying to limit my salt intake. Thank you
      Is there anyway all these commercials can be removed?

        Hello

        The recipe is on the recipe card on this page. You can use the jump to recipe button. Unfortunately, I cannot remove ads as it cost a lot of money monthly to keep this website up. If ads where to be removed I would have to charge a monthly fee.
