Vegan Creamed Corn [Oil Free]
Description
This recipe blends frozen corn with plant-based milks—coconut and soy—to build creaminess naturally without added oils. The corn cooks with seasonings until reduced by about half to concentrate flavors and thicken the sauce. Blending part of the cooked corn smooths the texture, then mixing the puree back in retains some kernels for bite and body.
The addition of maple syrup adds a gentle sweetness that complements the natural corn flavor, while garlic and onion powders enhance savory depth. Red pepper flakes can be added for a mild spicy note according to preference.
Leftovers store up to 3 days refrigerated and reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of milk or water to loosen the texture. For lower fat content, light coconut milk may be used at the cost of some richness. Coconut-free or soy-free options involve substituting with other unsweetened plant milks but may alter the consistency.
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels no need to thaw, frozen
- 400 ml coconut milk full fat for best results* (approx 1 ¾ cup, unsweetened; brand Thai Kitchen
- ½ cup soy milk or unsweetened plant milk of choice, unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup optional, but recommended
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, but recommended
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a pan or skillet and mix well. Bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue simmering for 8-10 minutes until reduced by about half.
- Then transfer 1 cup of your corn mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Return the pureed corn to your pan and stir to combine. Serve warm.
Notes
- Leftovers keep refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of milk or water to adjust texture.
- Use light canned coconut milk for less fat, noting it reduces richness.
- Maple syrup adds sweetness but other liquid sweeteners may be used instead.
- Substitute other unsweetened plant milks to avoid coconut or soy, knowing texture may vary.
