Vegan cornbread that is fluffy, moist, and delicious! Even non-vegans will love this!
I was thinking about what to make for Thanksgiving and I instantly thought cornbread! Cornbread is known to be paired perfectly with chili or soup, the ultimate comfort food. But with this cornbread, it will be next level.
This is not just any ordinary cornbread it is vegan but also made will actual popcorn! Most people will opt to buy cornmeal from the store but I find that making it home saves money and is so much easier. Essentially the popcorn is just blended in a high-speed blender or food processor and it turns into a nice fine flour consistency. This is for sure the star of the show.

Ingredients Needed To Make This Vegan Cornbread
- Popcorn– Any popcorn will work. I use unsalted popcorn that I popped in the microwave prior. If you do not have popcorn you can use store-bought cornmeal.
- Flour– I recommend either paleo or all-purpose flour. I have not tested any other flours.
- Maple Syrup– This sweetens the cornbread. You can also use honey or melted vegan butter as well.
- Nondairy Milk– Any non-dairy or regular milk will work.
- Flax Eggs– Combine 1 tbsp flaxseeds with 3 tbsp water. Alternatively, use regular eggs.
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
