This vegan jalapeño cornbread combines the wholesome taste of cornmeal with the zing of fresh jalapeños and green onions. With a touch of nutritional yeast or vegan cheddar for added depth, it's a comforting yet exciting twist on a classic favorite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Dice 1/2 cup jalapeño peppers and slice 1/3 cup green onions. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, water, and olive oil.
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.
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.
Allow the cornbread to cool for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
