Description

Cornbread is given a makeover by using all vegan ingredients, adding a spicy kick of jalapeno, and preparing it in an air fryer.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
3 tablespoons water
cooking spray
1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, or to taste

Directions

1 Combine water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray a 6-inch heat-proof inner pot with cooking spray.
3 Combine cornmeal, flour, nutritional yeast, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add the flaxseed and water mixture, almond milk, and oil; stir until it just comes together with no lumps. Stir in jalapeno and pour into the prepared pot; place into the air fryer.
4 Cook in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes. Remove the inner pot carefully with tongs, flip the cornbread, and continue to air fry until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 5 minutes more. Serve warm.
