Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cornbread evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until all the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vegetable oil until well combined to create the wet mixture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread fluffy.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease a baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the pan and spread it out.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cornbread cool before slicing. This helps to set the texture for perfect slices.

- To make it sweeter, consider adding some diced jalapeños or corn kernels for extra flavor.
