Vegan Skillet "Cornbread"
Description
The recipe starts with soaking millet to soften it, then blending it with chia seeds, diced zucchini, coconut sugar, salt, baking soda, and melted coconut oil to create a smooth batter. Apple cider vinegar is added last for leavening reaction. Baking in a greased skillet at 350°F allows even cooking and a tender crumb. The addition of zucchini contributes moisture and a subtle vegetable note, while coconut sugar adds gentle sweetness without overpowering.
The finished bread is allowed to cool before slicing, resulting in a firm yet soft texture. Leftovers store well at room temperature for a few days or chilled longer. This bread serves as a grain-based side or snack alternative that excludes animal products, highlighting the use of millet and chia for texture and nutrition.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups millet , soaked in water for at least 2 hours
- 1/4 cup chia seed white
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup zucchini peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and grease a 10-inch skillet with coconut oil. Drain the soaked millet and rinse well in a mesh strainer. Transfer the drained millet to a large food processor fitted with an "S" blade, then add in the chia seeds, water, zucchini, coconut sugar, salt, baking soda, and coconut oil. Process until the millet has broken down and a smooth batter is formed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the vinegar and process again briefly to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the greased skillet and bake at 350ºF until the center feels firm when gently touched, about 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the bread to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Store any leftover bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to a week.
