Tofu Corn Bread
1 cup corn meal
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoon sucanat
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon soy margarine, cut into small fine pieces
12 oz. Mori Nu silken tofu soft, do not use low fat, do not drain
1/3 cup soy milk
Grease a 8 x 8 square pan with oil and preheat oven to 400 degrees. If using a glass pan lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees (Farenheit).
Sift together the dry ingredients and stir to combine thoroughly. Cut the soy margarine pieces into the dry ingredients until the pieces of margarine are the size of small peas.
Put the tofu in the blender and blend until very smooth. Add the tofu and soy milk all at once to the dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Pour into greased 8 x 8 square pan and Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
This comes out wonderfully like real dairy vegan cornbread. I made two vegan cornbreads at the same time when I came up with this recipe. One vegan cornbread was this recipe and the other was conventional vegan cornbread, and my husband and I had trouble telling them apart. Enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was really good, even though I made a few mistakes. I used chickpea flour, which gave it a funny aftertaste, and I used the wrong kind of baking dish. Initially it didn't cook all the way through because the dish was too deep, so I cut it into pieces and put it on a baking sheet. That worked out ok. Thanks for the recipe! I'll do better next time! ;D
I've been searching for the perfect cornbread recipe, but this definitely isn't it! I've tried about four different recipes from this site, and this was my least favorite. I followed the instructions completely, and found it to be nicely moist, but over all not very good. It was rather heavy and blandish, and it didn't have that corny, slightly sweet, and fluffy thing than I like in cornbread.
Yummy, yummy, yummy. We have this a least once a month with chili and a green salad. My 11 year old asks for the leftovers for dessert. Hey, if she's willing to give up the Tofutti Cutie, it must be good, right? :D
