Zutaten und Substitutionen

To make this vegan cornbread, you need:
- Geschmolzene vegane Butter or any light-flavored oil like light olive oil or canola oil.
- Allzweckmehl – Für eine glutenfreie Variante verwenden Sie mein Umrechnungsleitfaden für glutenfreie Produkte.
- Gelbes Weizenmehl – You can also use classic cornmeal, but the bread won’t be as yellow.
- Unraffinierter Zucker – add 1/2 cup for a perfectly sweet cornbread, or skip for a plain cornbread and add 1 teaspoon of salt instead.
- Backpulver , Backsoda – Essential for giving the bread its soft and airy texture.
- Dairy-Free Milk of Choice – Feel free to use almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Apfelessig – You can also use white vinegar.
- Ungesüßte Apfelsoße – This acts as an egg replacer and makes the bread moist and slightly sweet.
If you have food allergies or want some alternatives to this cornbread recipe, I listed some options for you below.
- Zucker – Any granulated sweetener works in cornbread. It can be brown sugar, coconut sugar, or erythritol for a sugar-free option.
- Mehl – Spelt flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour that contains gum works as a wheat flour replacement and makes vegan, gluten-free cornbread.
- Apfelsoße – You can swap apple sauce for one flax egg. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 1/4 cup of lukewarm water and stir in the batter as an applesauce replacement.
- Gelbes Weizenmehl – There are many questions about which cornmeal should be used in cornbread. Originally, cornbread was made of yellow stone-ground cornmeal. It has a lovely yellow color to the bread and a grainy texture. However, if you can’t find yellow cornmeal in your store, you can swap it for white cornmeal.
How To Make Vegan Cornbread
It’s so easy to make cornbread and so rewarding to bring this homemade bread to the table as a comforting side to soup or curry.
- First, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch square dish with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper to prevent the cornbread from sticking to the paper. Set aside.

- For the batter, simply whisk almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl along with sugar and applesauce.

- Then, fold in the remaining dry ingredients: yellow cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

- Stir and pour the batter into the baking pan.

- Bake the cornbread for 25 to 35 minutes at 400°F (200°C) or until it is golden brown on top and a pick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Cornbread should be fluffy, slightly dry, and grainy.
- To enjoy its best texture, immediately transfer the baked cornbread to a wire rack and cool down for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into 16 squares and serve as a side to any of your favorite vegan meal recipes.

Lagerung
Cornbread doesn’t have to be refrigerated. You can store the cornbread at room temperature on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel and keep it fresh for 4 days. Another option is to freeze your cornbread in zip-lock bags or airtight containers. Thaw the portion of cornbread at room temperature overnight and serve the next day.
Serviervorschläge
You can make this recipe with some added toppings. Just before baking your cornbread, stir in the batter some of the below ingredients for added flavors:
- Jalapenos – you can stir in 1/2 cup diced jalapenos in the batter or simply sprinkle slices on top of the batter before baking.
- Veganer Käse – stir any of your favorite plant-based cheese in the batter, from 1/3 cup t o1/2 cup.
- Nährhefe – a great way to add a cheesy flavor to vegan cornbread is to stir in or 3-4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast in the batter. Plus, Nutritional Yeast is 100% vegan-friendly and a good vegan source of iron.
- Apples and onions – peel and dice apples and fry in olive oil with onion. Stir in the batter just before baking!
If you made the plain cornbread recipe, you could serve it with some of the delicious vegan toppings below. All of them taste amazing with cornbread:

Yes, you can bake this recipe in a 12-hole muffin pan slightly oiled with olive oil. Bake the cornbread muffins for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown and dry in the center.
Cornbread is a dry kind of bread, but it shouldn’t be too dry either!
If this happens, it can be that you overbaked it or used less fat in the recipe using almond milk, for example.
Soy milk contains more fat content and makes the cornbread much moister. Serve it with a dollop of vegan butter on a lukewarm slice of bread to balance the texture.
No, an authentic cornbread recipe contains eggs and often buttermilk made of milk and butter. So with so many dairy products, a cornbread recipe is not vegan-friendly. However, you can make a delicious plant-based cornbread recipe at home in less than 30 minutes.
Classic Cornbread is slightly sweet, but you don’t have to add sugar to the recipe.
Instead, you can make plain cornbread. Swap the sugar for 1 teaspoon of salt in the recipe.

When changing the flour in this recipe to a gluten free flour should I use the conversion guide for cakes / muffins or for bagels / bread. Thanks!
A cornbread is closer to muffins. I will go for the muffin conversion which doesn’t involve added psyllium husk.
can I use polenta instead of cornmeal
I didn’t try this option, I am not sure it will work as well.
I will certainly try it, looks great and tasty.
Vielen Dank!
I’ve made this recipe twice. I made it for Thanksgiving cornbread, sausage and apple stuffing and again to go with chili. Both times it was a very thick batter. It tasted great; i made the less sweet version.
I made this as listed but added a tbls of melted coconut oil and subbed King Arthur Measure for Measure GF flour, and replaced half the sugar with 24 g of Truvia. I baked it about 23 minutes and the middle was about 203F so I took it out then. I let it cool in the pan for about an hour. The flavor is great and its not over dry but it is extremely crumbly. Any suggestions on how to make it less crumbly? Thanks!
Cornbread is often crumbly and GF flour can increase this texture as well.
