Description

Fluffy, moist sourdough discard cornbread with a hint of sweetness and tang. Perfect for chili night or barbecue!


Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120g) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60g) pure maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sourdough discard (100% hydration) at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (60g) medium-grind cornmeal
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease or line an 8-inch square baking dish or similar-sized pan.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sugar, melted butter, and sourdough discard until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cornbread will be golden brown on top.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy with chili or your favorite barbecue dish!
