Vegan Cornbread Recipe

I have been adding things to cornbread for a long time. 

like our brunch perfect vegan Goat Cheese Corn Muffins.

and these surprisingly fun Broccoli Cheese Muffins.

I cannot take the credit for this idea though. The inspiration for my vegan cornbread recipe comes from the month we backpacked through Mexico.

I first had Blueberry Cornbread on a beach in Sayulita, in the form of a fresh baked cake doughnut. Those sweets were on my mind for the rest of the month… always perfectly timed and often still warm.

Baking Tips for the Best Vegan Cornbread

A vegan buttermilk yields a moist fluffy cake.

Giving the blueberries a tumble in the dry ingredients coats them and helps keep the whole cake from turning blue. While I prefer fresh blueberries for this recipe, they are not always easily found. Thawed from frozen blueberries do work – I pat them dry and definitely coat them in the flour mixture before mixing with wet ingredients.

Oil (or a dairy free butter) helps bring that moisture. The oil is a pretty necessary ingredient, in my opinion. I once tried using applesauce in place of oil – the consistency was off, the crumb was too dry.

Because we bake gluten free, it is especially important to choose the best flours for each recipe. For this bread, I took my favorite gluten free all purpose flour and added a bit of cornstarch – a DIY cake flour. 

This is a quick and easy, approachable recipe with a short ingredient list.

I love to serve this for brunch – a pretty platter of fruit studded bread.

A fizzy mimosa, a bright fresh salad, a perfectly sweet blueberry cornbread with melty butter.

This is a fun side dish for just about any occasion – summer potlucks to game day.

Pass me another mimosa!
