This golden, sunny-topped cornbread comes together with hearty cornmeal, a flax gel binder, and tangy plant-based buttermilk made from plant milk and apple cider vinegar. That curdled milk mixture reacts beautifully with baking powder to give the crumb a tender lift, while a touch of neutral oil keeps every square moist rather than crumbly. Whisked into an even batter and baked until the top turns deep gold and a toothpick pulls clean, this loaf slices into nine neat squares perfect for pairing with chili, soup, or a smear of jam. It's a satisfying, plant-based bake that works well for a gluten free table, no fuss required.
