Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 ¼ cups plant based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • cup vegan butter melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the oil to a cast iron skillet.
  2. Mix together the water and flaxseed in a small bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken up.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk with the vinegar and let that sit for about 5 minutes. This is vegan buttermilk.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, butter and the flax egg, stirring to combine. Do not over mix (a few lumps are fine!).
  6. Combine the wet and dry ingredients into a thick batter.
  7. Once the oven is preheated, pour the batter into the pan in an even layer.
  8. Place the pan in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake it until golden (about 24 minutes)
  9. Remove it from the oven, let it cool, then slice and serve.
