Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Soft Buttery Cornbread
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan with vegan butter or line it with parchment paper.
Tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
Tip: Whisking aerates the dry ingredients for a lighter crumb.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
Tip: This step mimics buttermilk, enhancing the bread's texture.
- Add the melted vegan butter, coconut oil, and maple syrup to the almond milk mixture. Stir until well combined.
Tip: Ensure the oils are not hot to avoid curdling the mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Tip: Overmixing can lead to a dense cornbread; stop when no dry streaks remain.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Tip: A smooth top ensures even baking and a nice crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tip: Look for a golden-brown top as a sign of doneness.
- Let the cornbread cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tip: Cooling helps set the texture, making it easier to slice.
Pro Tips & Notes for Vegan Soft Buttery Cornbread
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Use fresh baking powder to guarantee rise.
- Allow the cornbread to cool slightly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Customize sweetness with more or less maple syrup according to taste.

Storage & Reheating for Vegan Soft Buttery Cornbread
Storage: Store any leftover Vegan Soft Buttery Cornbread at room temperature for up to 2 days, covered tightly with foil or plastic wrap. For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag for up to three months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes for the best texture restoration. Microwaving is quicker but may make it slightly less crispy.
