Moist and hearty southern style vegan cornbread recipe. Made with nutritious spelt flour. Perfect to serve with winter soup or chilli!

I grew up on beans and cornbread! I have southern roots and beans and cornbread were many dinners. When I went vegan I thought my cornbread eating days were over. Until I played around with this recipe. This vegan cornbread recipe is moist, sweet and fluffy. And the best thing about this vegan cornbread recipe is that I used spelt flour.
Vegan Curve Building Ingredients
Spelt in general is often something highly used in the alkaline vegan community. One cup of spelt flour has 11 grams of protein which makes it very curve building friendly and healthier than white flour! Spelt does contain gluten but in lower amounts. Still if you have a serious gluten intolerance or Celic disease, please avoid all together and use a gluten free all purpose flour.
This vegan cornbread recipe will go great with Sweet Potato Black Eyed Pea Soup and Slow Cooker Yellow Dal soup. Enjoy!

Can you use polenta instead of cornmeal flour for this recipe?
Gina Marie
I have never tried that but you can test it out and let me know how it works for you!
