Ingredients
- 1 cup of plant-based milk (soymilk works best)
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup of neutral oil
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of yellow cornmeal
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of sweet corn
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a large bowl, add the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until the plant-based milk begins to thicken and it becomes vegan buttermilk. Add the oil, mix well, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
- Mix until just combined and you still see some dry ingredients.
- Add the frozen corn and mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated, but do not overmix.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin and fill to the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of one, comes out mostly clean.
- Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the baking tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes
- Don’t over-mix the batter: To avoid dense, gummy cornbread muffins. Instead, gently fold the ingredients until the batter is only just mixed.
- If you don’t have liners: You can pour the batter directly into the muffin pan, but make sure to grease it thoroughly to avoid sticking.
- Adjust sweetness: Depending on how sweet you prefer cornbread.
- Let them rest: In the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing and leaving to cool on a rack. Don’t serve them too early, or they may fall apart.
