Ingredients

  • ½ cup refined coconut oil melted
  • cup honey
  • 1 cup gluten free flour
  • 1 cup yellow corn meal
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 8.25oz can cream style corn (a little over 1 cup)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9” x 9” square pan with parchment paper or grease with dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
  • In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs. Follow by whisking in the sour cream, melted coconut oil, and honey.
    Fresh mixed wet ingredients for cornbread including eggs, honey, and coconut oil.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, corn meal, nutritional yeast, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk dry ingredients until well blended and there are no lumps.
  • Blend dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Stir in the entire can of creamed corn until evenly distributed- do not over mix!
  • Pour batter into the parchment-lined 9” x 9” square pan and spread in an even layer using a spatula.
  • Move to the oven and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out crumb-free.

Notes

Recipe Modifications:
  • *I have found the best texture for this gluten free cornbread when you use homemade vegan sour cream. For this, blend together 2 cups soaked cashews (soaked overnight or bring to a boil and simmer for approx. 20 min), 1 cup water, ¾ cup lemon juice, ½ tsp salt and 1 tbsp nutritional yeast in a high-powered blender until completely smooth. This will make more than 1 cup so make sure to measure before adding to the batter!
  • To make this cornbread more savory, try adding in chopped scallions or cheddar cheese.
