Ingredients
  

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup cornmeal not cornmeal mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour 120g- I used a 1:1 gf baking flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups canned coconut milk
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ cup cooked corn I used canned

Maple Butter Topping

  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine all of the bread ingredients (minus the corn). Mix until everything is well combined, then fold on the corn.
  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper and gently grease it. Transfer the batter to the dish and level the top using a spatula.
  • Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes at 350F. Baking time will vary based on the type of dish you use and your oven, so make sure to check if the bread is done by sticking a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it's ready! If not, keep baking until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the bread is baking, whisk together the maple butter ingredients and spread on top once the bread is done.
  • Allow the bread to cool off, then slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal texture, accurately measure flour and cornmeal. Consider using a kitchen scale or the spoon-and-level method to prevent dense or dry cornbread.
  • After combining wet and dry ingredients, stir just until incorporated. Excessive mixing leads to toughness. For added flavor and texture, carefully fold in corn kernels.
  • Allow your cornbread to rest for several minutes before cutting. This patience ensures the structure sets properly, resulting in clean, attractive slices.
