mt's vegan wheat-free low fat cornbread recipe

mt's vegan wheat-free low fat cornbread recipe
---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm very pleased with this recipe and now make it regularly.
0) prepare flax
grind golden flax seeds in coffee grinder to a fine powder

1) liquid ingredients
  • bring 6 Tbsp water to a boil & reduce heat
  • add 2 Tbsp ground flax, whisk for 2 or 3 minutes until a paste forms
  • add 2 Cups unsweetened soy milk 
  • add 2 tsp maple syrup
  • whisk until roughly mixed (won't blend perfectly)

2) prep
  • spray or lightly grease a 9" square glass casserole with oil 
  • preheat oven to 450 F

3) dry ingredients
in mixing bowl combine thoroughly
  • 1 1/3 Cups cornmeal
  • 2/3 Cup oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
try to avoid lumps in oat flour
4) bake
  • add liquids to dry
  • pour into casserole
  • bake for 23 minutes

NOTE: after 12 minutes baking, it's nice to spray oil over top surface - this prevents grittiness

5) don't eat yet
  • let cool 5 minutes
  • run a knife around edge of bread to separate from dish

6) eat warm
(or next day split horizontally & toasted in toaster-oven)
  • adding Nature's Balance avocado butter is nice nut not so low fat
  • or regular butter is not so bad but not so vegan
  • if you're feeling indulgent, a little extra maple syrup or honey

7) don't keep more than a day or so without freezing
