Ingredients

  • Wet Ingredients
  • 1½ cup soymilk*

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup cornmeal

  • 1 cup masa flour*

  • ¼ cup date sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar to the soymilk and set aside for a few minutes while you measure the other ingredients. This will thicken and sour to make a “buttermilk.”
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir or whisk to combine.
  • Once the soymilk has thickened (it will be kind of chunky), add it to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients and stir to incorporate everything.
  • Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square silicone pan or a silicone 12 cup muffin pan.*
  • Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes until golden on top.

Notes

  • For best results use a higher protein plant-based milk such as soy milk or pea milk.
  • If you can’t find masa, you can substitute with a whole wheat flour or simply use more cornmeal.
  • If you don’t have silicone pans, use parchment paper to line any 8-inch square pan, or parchment cupcake liners for a muffin pan.
