Vegan Corn Casserole
Description
This vegan casserole starts by soaking millet for at least two hours to soften it before rinsing. The soaked millet, half the thawed corn, water, melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, salt, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar are combined in a food processor and blended into a finely textured batter. The other half of the thawed corn is pulsed in after blending to retain chunks, contributing to a varied texture.
The batter is poured into a coconut oil-greased casserole dish and baked at 350ºF for about 45 minutes until the top is lightly golden. Cooling 15 minutes before serving allows the casserole to set fully and improves serving ease. The dish has a pleasant balance of sweetness from corn and coconut sugar with slight acidity from vinegar, and a soft but structured texture from the millet and baking soda reaction.
This casserole works well as a vegan side dish accompanying various main courses or plant-based meals. Its mild flavors allow versatile pairings without overpowering other elements on the plate.
Ingredients
- coconut oil , for greasing
- 1 cup millet , soaked in water for at least 2 hours
- 2 pounds corn thawed and divided, frozen
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 9" x 13" casserole dish with coconut oil. Drain the soaked millet in a strainer and rinse well. In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, combine the drained millet, 1 pound of the thawed corn, 1 cup water, melted coconut oil, sugar, salt, baking soda, and vinegar. Process well until a relatively smooth batter is created, which should take about 2 minutes. Add in the remaining 1 pound of thawed corn and pulse a few times to combine-- you want to leave plenty of texture in this dish.
- Pour the batter into the greased casserole dish and bake at 350ºF until the top is lightly golden, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
