Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal preferably stone ground
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6- ounce container plain coconut yogurt or 3/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup unsweetened nondairy milk or more as needed
- 1 to 2 small fresh hot chile peppers seeded and minced, or one 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels thawed
- 3/4 cup grated vegan cheddar cheese optional (but highly recommended!)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yogurt or applesauce, oil, and half of the rice milk. Stir until well combined, adding just a bit more nondairy milk if needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter, but don't let the batter be too wet.
- Stir in the chilies and corn kernels.
- Pour the mixture into an oiled 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center tests clean.
- Let cool slightly; cut into 3 sections in one direction and 4 in the other to create 12 squares. Serve warm.
