Delicious Corn Bread: Vegan and Gluten-Free

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 ½ cups warm water
• ½ cup sucanat
• ¼ cup agave nectar
• 1 ½ cups cornmeal
• 1 cup spelt flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups frozen corn kernels

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a loaf pan so the bread doesn’t stick. In a small bowl, soak the chia seeds in warm water for about 5 minutes, then drain off any extra water. Next, pop the soaked chia seeds into a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sucanat and agave nectar, then blend everything together again until it’s well combined.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the cornmeal, spelt flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the frozen corn kernels, then pour in the chia seed mixture and give it all a good mix until everything is evenly combined. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and pop it in the oven.

Step 3

Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
