CORNBREAD, SIMPLE PLANT BASED RECIPE
Nothing goes with certain dishes like a plate of cornbread. I enjoy it with many bean dishes, especially chili. I have been experimenting with my cornbread recipe for months and finally came up with one that I found absolutely delicious, with no added oil. Use this as your basic recipe and if you want to add to it, go right ahead. I tried it with whole wheat flour and the texture just wasn't the same. So I would recommend the all purpose flour noted in the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup Cornmeal
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 dash of sea salt
1 Egg, (or 1 T of egg replacer, (like Bobs Red Mill)
___________________________
1/4 cup applesauce
1 and 1/4 cup unsweetened non dairy milk, (I used almond)
Use a whisk to mix together all dry ingredients, then add the applesauce, egg, and milk. Stir for just a minute or so, a few lumps are fine. Bake for 20-25 min in 400 degree oven until lightly browned and toothpick comes out clean. This makes 6 servings, approx 210 calories ea.
I also sometimes enjoy this cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet. To do this put your skillet in the oven while it is pre heating, When it is good and hot, pour your cornbread batter right into it and place in the oven. This will make all the edges nice and crisp.
Optional additions: 1 cup of frozen corn, and/or one finely diced jalapeno pepper for a little extra kick.
