Preparation Steps

  2. In a measuring cup, combine 1 cup of non-dairy milk with 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, gluten-free flour blend, oat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. Add the non-dairy milk mixture, applesauce, and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
