I loved this! Hearing from strangers about your recipe was so interesting! Your recipes are amazing, but sometimes I feel like vegan recipe developers make something that looks better than it tastes. This gave me an idea of what regular people think of your recipes! Thanks for this! It must have been a lot of work.
When making cornbread, I like to soak the cornmeal in the milk for 15 minutes and then add it to the flour with the other liquids. This helps the cornmeal to soak in the moisture. This helps prevent the cornbread from getting too dry. Thanks for sharing a great vegan alternative to my old cornbread recipe.
Yes that’s a great idea! I saw that technique come up in my research but didn’t notice much difference between that and letting the cornbread batter rest and hydrate before baking. But now I want to try it again because I am a bit obsessed with cornbread lol.
What a fun spin. Rosemary?! I never would have thought. And now I’m in the train. Hey, can I use that little snippet where you’re chopping the rosemary? That was so cool!
Rainbow Plant Life is the best vegan cooking channel on utube. Nisha and Max are my absolute favorites, I just love them so much! Everything she makes is the 💣
Make this cornbread right now! I’ve been vegan for almost 3 years now and all the other UA-camrs vegan cornbread recipes were fine but the taste was kinda just like a box of jiffy cornbread veganized. This one right here tho is sooooooooo goooood. The texture, the saltiness and the sweetness. AMAZING. just like all her other recipes! Thanks so much for sharing with us! 💕
I have made different versions of cornbread, but I have to say that this is the best cornbread I have ever eaten. My husband even ate some, and he does not like cornbread. This will be my main go to for cornbread from now on.
Omg a 🇨🇭person taste testing on Nishas channel!!! As a Swiss person myself I also have never tasted cornbread before-- need to try this recipe! Love your channel so much, it helps our household to discover and cook new vegan meals often and we love your content! ❤️
It was so lovely to have her on! She lives in Switzerland but was visiting her partner. I’m so happy your family loves my recipes ☺️ I hope your first cornbread experience will be delicious!
I'm a cornbread expert, so I'm curious to see what my thoughts are on this. I've made good gluten free cornbread, but haven't yet tried vegan which would be great with my veggie chili. Great timing for this too.
I finally tried this recipe and it is hands down the best cornbread I’ve ever made. I had nearly given up on making cornbread at home, but I can’t get enough of this. Truly phenomenal. Thank you Nisha!
I have just bought my first Instant pot, and your cook book! I am soooooo excited to get started, thank you for all of these wonderful videos, you are amazing :)
amazing cornbread. i used bobs red mill polenta ground corn, which is coarser, i used all plant based butter cause i was out of oil and added sauted onions and garlic to my batter. i made my own oat milk blending 1/2 cup of rolled oats with 2 cups water. i left out all sweeteners cause i like salty
I love how she cooks, it's very like how I cook, which is also typically without recipes, and thus I have actually *wanted* to try her recipes- and yes, every recipe of hers I've tried has been excellent.
Love it! thank you for updating a childhood favorite, haven't had this in years. Thank you also for the tips, and that it was so simple and quick to make. I used stone-ground Blue Corn meal - it is said to have "about 20% more protein than yellow corn, a lower glycemic index", and "easier to digest than its yellow counterpart, as it has less indigestible starch". Also I used date sugar for the sweetener - it actually has 1 gram of fiber per 5 g of carbs, and also has a lower glycemic index than most other sugars. But it is expensive, whereas the original recipe here is both a treat and inexpensive.
Nisha: this Southern Jewish girl learned from the Texas WASP part of the family that the right way to make cornbread (before I was ever vegan - at 44...) was to put the skillet in the oven for 5 - 10 to get it scalding, remove and add the fat needed for the recipe (then: butter, now, vegan butter - adjust salt if salted), melt and swirl to coat, add to batter and combine, then add batter to skillet/oven to bake - makes an even crustier crust. Points for the buttermilk
So I did the first few things…but then you pour the hot melted butter from the skillet into the batter, then pour the batter into the pan?? I am definitely intrigued!! I did a lot of research on southern cornbread but that particular technique of pouring the hot butter back into the batter didn’t come up!
@@RainbowPlantLife guessing it's some family thing! Yes: Mom just confirmed her grandma - who hailed from TN originally - is who taught her how to do it that way.
I made this and used it to make my Thanksgiving cornbread dressing - it was DELICIOUS! Best cornbread ever, truly. Also, I had to use gluten free flour so I used King Arthur 1 to 1 GF flour blend for anyone who needs that option. Made it 2 days ahead, kept in fridge, cubed and toasted in oven that morning then used it to make the dressing. This will be my annual recipe :)
Thank you so much for dedicating yourself to presenting the best for your followers. continue in this humility that you will reach your dreams that are stored in your heart. May God always continue to bless you 🙌 I'm watching your videos here in Brazil 👍
I'm not vegan, but my partner is vegetarian and I don't do well with dairy, so I've been doing a vegan deep dive on UA-cam and this looks incredible. I love rosemary!!
Vegan chili and corn bread. Wahoo! Thank you for the recipe. I miss corn bread so much since going vegan. So excited that there is a way to make it vegan.
Hi there! I have loved everything I have made of yours. ❤️ Question. I don’t like agave nectar but I do like honey. Hmmm. Your such a good food chemist! I don’t want to mess with your recipe …but what do you think? Do you think honey will ruin the authenticity of your recipe?
seems to me you could also just do a quite dry polenta and bake it off in the skillet like a foccacia (with lots of fat, so it will essentially be fried by the end of the process)
Love your recipes. I have a challenge for you 😉 Corn bread is great but spoon bread is even better 😋 It’s similar to corn bread but has a creamy soufflé like texture which it gets from eggs and butter. Do you think you could invent a vegan version of spoon bread?
Cornbread should never have any sugar or sweetener added to it! In the US Southeast (where I’m from) it is traditionally a savory bread - NOT a desert cake. Add less wheat flour for more corn flavor. A bit of oil or lard is traditional. Butter or marg is what you put on it after baking - not in the batter. It’s ok if it’s crumbly!
I made this the other day. First bite was so weird because I've never had Rosemary, so my tastebuds kind of freaked out. But honestly this is actually very good.
Hey I'm gonna make this cornbread tomorrow. How long do I have to cook it if I double the recipe? I don't have a form small enough to put it in, the one I have that I'll be using is 20 cm by 30 cm. Will it work just to cook it and check every now and then with a toothpick?
Omg Nisha, I freakin' LOVE cornbread! I always make the recipe from Sam's channel "It doesn't taste like chicken" and it's pretty tasty but the texture always comes out a bit dry. I can't wait to try this recipe. It will go so well with the 3-bean chili from your instant pot cook book (a huge fave of mine). Question though... Would it be possible to add sweet corn kernels to it? Either frozen or canned? And instead of rosemary could I add fennel seeds for earthiness? Thanks for everything you do for the vegan community! 💕
Made this with almond milk, but I will use oat milk next time. For my taste it was a little too buttery, a little too sweet, and I didn't really like the olive oil flavor (but maybe my olive oil isn't a good quality one)
I have been avoiding adding in oil and vegan butter in my recipes because I still have weight I'm trying to remove. But this recipe looks so good. We may have a large family group to our home on Thanksgiving so this would be a great start to a vegan menu. Any recommendations on brand of vegan butter? I have never bought any.
Earth balance is the most widely available vegan butter and works great in this recipe! And this cornbread would be perfect for a family thanksgiving get together!
Wouldn't a fair and real taste test be using the the ingredients you added to the Vegan recipe for the non vegan one; the optional additions that is? So many said the other tasted "bland and usual," and I'm like DUH. I don't know just cogitating. Still gonna try it but just not sure if it's a fair contest!

Thanks to the New World Order, we are both in a recession and have a wheat flour shortage. Your future videos may want to take this into effect. Because of a fuel and fertilizer shortage, it sounds like there may be a corn shortage next year, too.
I made this and it’s absolutely delicious. Thank you! Now I just have to remember that I’m not supposed to eat the whole pan in one sitting and I’ll be good 🙃

Totally understand! You can never really tell from photos how tasty something is going to be. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️
I love how you don’t just give the recipe but tell us why you use each ingredient and how it enhances what is being made 😊😊
I’m so glad you appreciate all the tips and explanations!
Yes..now I know mines came out salty 😅
@@RainbowPlantLife where can I get the stuff because I am planning on going vegan

You're right, Cecelia! That explanation of why each ingredient is used is so important, and also interesting!

What a fun spin. Rosemary?! I never would have thought. And now I’m in the train. Hey, can I use that little snippet where you’re chopping the rosemary? That was so cool!
Yes definitely, go ahead! Thanks Barney! The rosemary makes it extra special!

They have a nice cornbread at Aldi in Switzerland but it looks more like a normal bread than a cake.
I'm a cornbread expert, so I'm curious to see what my thoughts are on this. I've made good gluten free cornbread, but haven't yet tried vegan which would be great with my veggie chili. Great timing for this too.
What do you use as an all purpose flour substitute??
I love that you did a taste test!! And won! Just got a huge bag of cornmeal so I'll try this out :)
Awesome! I hope you’ll love the cornbread!
I finally tried this recipe and it is hands down the best cornbread I’ve ever made. I had nearly given up on making cornbread at home, but I can’t get enough of this. Truly phenomenal. Thank you Nisha!

Your cornbread looks fantastic! I'm sure a lot of effort goes into developing (tweaking) a recipe like this. Thank you for sharing.
This vegan cornbread needs its own UA-cam page. BEST. EVER. PERIOD.
I’ve tried this one several times and it lives up to its hype
Looks good. I’ve been in the mood for chili lately and this will be perfect with it.
it's SO good with chili! i might just be working on a chili recipe 😉
I absolutely love your recipes and your videos! I made your tempeh chili from your Instant Pot book. Now it's time to make some cornbread!
The blind taste test was so interesting!
That golden crust looks awesome! We are making it tonight!
Thank you Jeanie! I hope you'll love it. The crust is SO good.
I've always wanted to try cornbread. I'll try your recipe first 😜
Haha yay! Thanks Sandra!
this looks soooooo delicious
It’s the best! So delicious
Thank you Nisha!
I've never even heard of corn bread but I'm drooling
We don't really have cornbread in the UK but I really want to try it now
It’s so good! I hope you’ll give it a try :)
I’m def making this for TG. A big thank you!
Every Food you Make Looks Great and Incredibly Delicious and Flavorful 💚😋
From one dork to another,
You are amazing sister,
Keep up the good work 😀😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️.
Aww thank you so much ☺️

Thank you so much !
Oh that’s so nice to hear! I hope you’ll both enjoy it :)

I'm English and we don't really do cornbread but this looks pretty good! Love your videos.
yes it’s a pretty American thing, but it is soo good so I hope you’ll give it a try!
Cannot wait to test this. Gotta say that I love the sloth calendar in the background 🤣
Adding taste testers is such a good idea!
I'm going to make asap just going to add fresh corn & green onions & jalapeno. Would love to see you do something with polenta Thank's for sharing
Ooh fresh corn! If you have it, omg it would be so good 🤤 We did try it with jalapeños and enjoyed it but liked it better with the rosemary!
Also I have a polenta recipe in my instant pot cookbook!
@@RainbowPlantLife omg I must have missed that one must check it out Thank's
Yum!! I love cornbread and I can't wait to try this recipe!
I really did enjoy your cornbread! Like the stranger said, it's moist, and interesting. I made mine gluten-free and added jalapeño 😋 🤞
This looks like a hug in shape of a pie 😁
Hahaha a slice of warm cornbread is basically a hug!
Just tried this today, it was sooo good! Even my non-vegan friends went back for seconds!
wish i lived nearby!
This is soo goooddd… and oily!!! I struggle with this bcs its SOOO GOOD but SO GREASY i wish i could eat more of this without gaining weight lol
Definitely making this had a Martha Stewart recipe that went in a cast iron skillet. I loved it but couldn’t veganize it. Thanks! Will let you know.
I miss cornbread. 6 years vegan I'll definitely be making this. 💯. 👸🏼💕
Ohhhh this looks so good.

Yay! I need a good cornbread recipe. The one I just made was…dry.

Is this cornbread meant to be salty or sweet?
it's more a savory dish, but mildly sweet!
Wouldn't a fair and real taste test be using the the ingredients you added to the Vegan recipe for the non vegan one; the optional additions that is?
