Cornbread doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure!

This is based on a famous recipe published in Cook’s Illustrated, called “Blue Ribbon Vegan Cornbread.” I’ve made a few changes to the recipe, namely using a heart-healthy oil, substituting whole-grain flour, reducing the sugar and throwing in some fresh or frozen corn kernels.

You will need

3 tsp Salt 1 cup Soy Milk 1 cup Safflower Oil 1 cup fresh Corn 2 tbsp ground Flax Seed 6 tbsp Water 1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour 1 cup Cornmeal 3 tbsp Sugar 4 tsp Baking Powder

Description

This is based on a famous recipe published in Cook’s Illustrated, called “Blue Ribbon Vegan Cornbread.” I’ve made a few changes to the recipe, namely using a heart-healthy oil, substituting whole-grain flour, reducing the sugar and throwing in some fresh or frozen corn kernels.

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cast iron skillet with cooking oil spray and place in the oven 5 minutes before you are ready to put the cornbread in.

2. Vigorously mix the flax and water in a small bowl or mug, and microwave for 30-40 seconds, until thickened. Alternatively, bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan, add the flax and simmer for a few minutes.

3. Mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.

4. In another bowl, mix the flax mixture, soy milk and oil. Add to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Add corn kernels, if using.

5. Pour the batter into the heated cast iron pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before cutting.
