Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are well mixed and there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond milk, and melted coconut oil. Stir until all the wet ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Smooth the top to ensure an even bake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Vegan Maple Pumpkin Corn Bread as a delicious snack or side dish!
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will ensure a tender cornbread.
- Use Fresh Pumpkin: For an extra burst of flavor, consider using fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. Simply roast and blend your pumpkin for a homemade touch!
- Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to add in some extras like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips to elevate the flavor and texture of your cornbread.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your cornbread a few minutes early. It’s done when it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Serve Warm: This cornbread is best enjoyed warm! Pair it with a little vegan butter or maple syrup for an irresistible treat.
