Buttermilk Cornbread - Vegan, Gluten-free & Nut-free
"Super easy cornbread with a moist and fluffy center, loaded with rich, buttery flavour and crispy edges. My first attempt at creating a healthy vegan cornbread recipe, came from the help of a Betty Crocker cookbook. After many tweaks and flat out fails, I am super happy with this new (dare I say improved?) version of my healthy vegan cornbread recipe! I hope you make it, eat it, love it and should generosity strike, even share it with the people you love."

Ingredients
- 1 cup fine cornmeal
- 1 cup 1 for 1 Gluten-Free Flour - I used Bulk Barn brand
- 3 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 cup melted vegan butter - I used Earth Balance
- 1 cup non-dairy milk - I used soy for the vegan buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice for the vegan buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon ground flax for the vegan "egg"
- 3 tablespoon water
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch pan or cast iron skillet and set aside.
-
In a small bowl whisk together the Vegan Buttermilk ingredients and set aside for 3-5 minutes.
-
In another small bowl, whisk together ingredients for Vegan "Egg" and set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sea salt, baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Mix well.
-
Add melted butter, buttermilk and Vegan "Egg" to the dry ingredients and stir just until the mixture comes together.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes or until the top is a golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Allow to sit in pan for at least 5-10 minutes before removing. This will help prevent any crumbling.
