Classic Vegan Skillet Cornbread

Sharon Palmer

I love a good, easy baked cornbread to accompany soup or stews. And this basic recipe is a super-easy classic. It’s 100% plant-based, thanks to chia seeds taking the place of eggs, and it includes whole grain cornmeal and wheat flour for extra nutrition. With just a light touch of sugar and oil, this Classic Vegan Skillet Cornbread is a lighter, healthier version that’s consistently good. Just mix up the batter (only six ingredients, not including pantry staples), pour the batter into your trusty skillet (or baking dish), pop it in the oven, and it’s done in about 20 minutes. So good!

    • Great question! A lot of people get confused by this, as it seems like an oxymoron. We often call it “white flour” to refer to refined wheat flour. However, there is a variety of wheat that is called “white wheat” because it is a variety of wheat kernels that are lighter in color and lighter in bitter compounds. You can purchase white wheat in its whole wheat form, so it is considered a whole grain, even though it is lighter in color. It’s a great option for baking when you don’t want the dark color in the final result.
