Vegan Creamed Corn [Oil Free]

Vegan Creamed Corn is a dairy-free side dish made by simmering frozen corn kernels with full-fat coconut milk, unsweetened soy milk, and seasoning including garlic and onion powder, salt, maple syrup, and optional red pepper flakes. A portion of the corn mixture is blended smooth and reincorporated to create a creamy, textured dish without oil or dairy. It provides a rich, slightly sweet, and subtly spiced creamed corn alternative.

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
