Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

  1. Step 2: Prepare Add-ins

    Dice 1/2 cup jalapeño peppers and slice 1/3 cup green onions. Set aside.

  1. Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

  1. Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, water, and olive oil.

  1. Step 5: Combine and Add Add-ins

    Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Toss in diced jalapeños, sliced green onions, and nutritional yeast (or vegan cheddar) and mix gently.

  1. Step 6: Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top and bake in the preheated oven for 36–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  1. Step 7: Cool and Serve

    Allow the cornbread to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note

Tips:

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your spice preference.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of vegan cheddar on top before baking.

Warnings:

  • Be cautious when handling jalapeños; wash hands thoroughly to avoid irritation.
