Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. Stir in the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and the prepared flax egg mixture until just combined — a few small lumps are fine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20–22 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cornbread cool completely in the pan, at least 45 minutes.
