I’m not sure if cornbread is a traditional Thanksgiving dish per se…but you always see lots of corn in those cornucopia things, so the pilgrims must have had access to fresh cornmeal, right? Sure, we’ll go with it…(plus, lately, I’ve been craving cornbread like whoa). To be honest, I do get cravings for non-vegan items every once in a while, and since they are usually fairly random, I’m forced to either (a) get over it, or (b) figure out how to make it vegan myself. In honor of my Thanksgiving alone, I decided it was time to take a stab at vegan cornbread.
I made a few changes to Terry’s Clean Food skillet cornbread recipe, and came up with this:
The biggest change I made was using NuNaturals’ NuStevia Sweetener Stevia Baking Blend (long name much?). In the future I’ll refer to this as NNSSBB.
I doubt you can read that so let me summarize: no soy, yeast, gluten, wheat, milk, msg, synthetics, artificial colors or flavors, preservatives, sugar, saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, or artificial sweeteners. Plus it has 3 g of fiber per tbsp, and who doesn’t like more fiber?
HHH’s vegan cornbread recipe
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp NNSSBB
- 2/3 cup apple sauce
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3/4 cup corn
- 1/2 cup rice milk (or any other milk alternative)
I thawed the frozen corn, then added in the apple sauce, and used my bullet to lightly blend it. I guess you can puree it completely, but I still wanted some nearly whole kernels in mine.
Then I combined the wet and dry ingredients.
Once it was all mixed up, I poured into a pan.
20 minutes in the oven at 375 degrees…
VOILA!
Hot outta the oven is the best way to sample it (just to make sure they are safe…oh wait, I’m the only one here to enjoy them)!
I had another portion with leftover snobby joes and some roasted brussel sprouts.
Did you honestly think hummus wouldn’t make it’s way onto this? Roasted red pepper hummus and cornbread were practically MADE FOR each other.
Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I still have leftover vegan cornbread for my solo Thanksgiving celebration

I have a good vegan cornbread recipe from The Joy of Vegan Baking. It’s available on their web site. I actually just posted it in my blog last week when I served it with chili beans. The post is here: http://greyeyedesigns.blogspot.com/2009/11/crafty-vegans-food-adventures.html
ooo, thanks!! ill check yours out. its always good to find yummy vegan options of the (nonvegan) classics.
this looks ridiccccccculous.

hollerrr
pairing hummus with cornbread~a true elise idea! i love it. the brussels sprouts look really good too. XOXOXO
OMG this is insane. I’m hoping for leftovers?? Please
I LOVE cornbread! I get the most random cravings for it all the time. So good.
I still have Snobby Joes bookmarked!
I have it and I dont use it…I just use the regular stevia in packets or loose, but just something that’s small and easily disposable, i.e a cup of coffee. Or even in chia pudding, softserve, but whenever I use it in hot food..aftertaste. Maybe I’m just weird LOL
I am not a big cornbread fan but yours looks amazing…good job veganizing a “classic”!
But what I really wanna know is what you think of the baking blend, how much you used, any aftertaste *whatsoever*, or any other 411. Email is fine
there was an aftertaste. it wasnt too bitter, but it was present for sure. the hummus made it go away, though…not the most practical solution so for future tries im going to opt for agave nectar instead.
gah, this looks amazing. bookmarking this future reference.
That cornbread looks really good I love kernels in mine as well:)
Yummy yum! I totally want to join your Thanksgiving! I love cornbread. You may have the tastiest looking Thanksgiving I’ve seen yet.
Looks absolutely TDF!! Cornbread is one of my favorites, and I’m so excited to try this vegan version!
how did you know cornbread was my FAV?! I mean, you did make this recipe primarily for me, right?
I went on a cornbread kick a few months back… but I never got it quite right. Unless it’s supposed to be tasteless???
<3 <3
AHH I was looking through cookbooks tonight to get ideas for Thanksgiving sides.. and I thought perfect.. cornbread. I like your recipe even better! PS.. check my blog.. you got a surprise
Mmmm, snobby joes and cornbread! It’s a match made in heaven.
Have you ever had Boston Market cornbread? Probably not but it’s out of this world DELICIOUS and I get cravings for it all the time. I’m going to have to bookmark HHH’s cornbread for, you know, the two days out of the year I actually decide to cook something.
One word, AMAZING! That’s what you are rubia! Truly amazing. I’m very impressed. =D
