Ingredients
Sweet Vegan Cornbread Muffins
- 1 1/4 c. unsweetened original almond milk (cashew or soy will work, as well)
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
- 3/4 c. all-purpose flour (105 g) (For gluten free - use your favorite gluten free all-purpose flour + 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum, if your flour doesn't already contain it.)
- 1 1/4 c. cornmeal (196 g)
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 c. pure maple syrup (119 ml)
- 1/4 c. canola oil (59 ml) or other neutral flavored oil
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F/177°C. Then, line 13-14 spots amongst two muffin pans with paper muffin liners. Set these aside.
- Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for now.
- Then, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine. If making a gluten free version, add the Xanthan gum here, as well.
- Add the maple syrup, oil, and milk and vinegar mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Be sure to not over mix.
- Evenly divide the batter amongst the lined spots on the muffin pans, ensuring each spot is no more than 2/3 full. I like to use a retractable ice cream scoop for this job! A ¼ measuring cup will work, as well.
- Bake muffins in your preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted down the center comes out batter-free.
- Serve warm with your favorite non-dairy butter and / or maple syrup or jam!

Notes
- Always use silicon or paper cupcake liners to avoid sticking.
- Use a retractable ice cream scoop to measure out your batter into your muffin tin. A 1/4 measuring cup will do the job, as well.
- Take care that you do not over mix the batter. Stir until just combined and then stop right away to have fluffy, tender muffins.
- Serve warm with butter and/or maple syrup, preserves, jelly or jam of any type. Savory-spicy pepper jellies are also great with the sweet cornbread!
