How to Make Carrot Cornbread Vegan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or oat), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
  4. Grate 2 cups of carrots and add them to the wet ingredients along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
