The BEST Easy Healthy Cornbread
Made with a creamy tofu 'creamed corn,' this easy healthy cornbread is gluten free, vegan, oil-free, and refined sugar-free!
Ingredients
Creamed Corn
- 1 cup silken tofu organic. Firm tofu also works, do 1/2 cup tofu, 1/2 cup milk instead of a whole cup, only if using firm or extra firm.
- ½ can corn divided- half blended, half whole
- 2 tbsp apple sauce
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup plant milk soy, oat, almond, etc.
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup corn meal organic if possible
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Creamed Corn
- In a blender or immersion blender cup, add the tofu, half of the corn, and all other wet ingredients and blend.
- Blend for only a few seconds until everything is combined. Don't over blend, there should still be visible pieces of corn! Then stir in the rest of the corn
Everything else!
- In a mixing bowl add the oat flour, corn meal, sea salt, and baking powder and mix with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Add the 'creamed corn' to the dry Ingredients and mix until everything is combined! I always taste it to adjust sweetness and saltiness! Maybe adding more maple syrup or a dash more salt!
- Pour batter into a baking dish. I use either a 9x9 or 8x12 size.
- Bake at 400F for about 25 minutes. poke with a chopstick or knife and it should come out clean, a little moist is fine, it will get drier as it cools.
- Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy! Read the blog post for ideas on what to make with this delicious cornbread!
