This is The Best Blueberry Cornbread Recipe! This moist and fluffy blueberry cornbread is going to melt in your mouth! It's golden, buttery, and so easy to make. You only need one bowl and a handful ingredients. Our secret to the perfect cornbread crumb is coconut milk. It adds a light sweet flavor (nope, you won't taste the coconut), and a super tender texture that will impress everyone. The best part about this recipe is that it is both vegan and gluten-free friendly.
Blueberry Cornbread Ingredients
The best part about this delicious vegan blueberry cornbread is the fact that it uses simple ingredients that are affordable and easy-to-find. You only need one bowl and minutes to make this delicious and tender loaf!
- Coconut Milk: To keep this recipe vegan, we use coconut milk instead of regular milk. This is also how the cornbread gets super moist and tender. We do not recommend substituting any other kind of milk for canned coconut milk as it will not match the creaminess of canned coconut milk. Don't worry - the cornbread doesn't taste like coconut.
- Agave: We use a small amount of agave to sweeten our blueberry cornbread batter.
- Butter: To keep this recipe vegan, we use melted vegan butter instead of regular butter. If you are not vegan or dairy-free, regular butter will work.
- Baking Powder: Baking powder is how we create the fluffy texture in this delicious homemade blueberry cornbread. No eggs needed!
- Cornmeal: We use cornmeal to achieve that classic cornbread crumb and flavor.
- Flour: We recommend using regular or gluten-free all purpose flour in this recipe. Our favorite gluten-free all purpose flour is King Arthur Measure for Measure.
- Corn: Frozen kernels of corn are added to our cornbread batter.
- Blueberries: Feel free to use fresh blueberries or frozen. If using frozen blueberries, you don't need to thaw them before folding them into the batter.
How To Make Blueberry Cornbread
Step 1: Begin by preheating the oven to 375. Then, grease a metal loaf pan with nonstick baking spray. Mix the coconut milk, melted vegan butter, agave, and baking powder together. Then, add the cornmeal and flour and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Fold the corn and blueberries into the cornbread batter and then transfer the batter into the greased loaf pan.
Step 3: Bake the cornbread in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until it is golden on the top and brown around the edges. Serve warm spread with vegan butter or drizzled with agave.
