Step 2: Place the rolled oats in a blender. Then, thoroughly blend the oats.

Step 3: Add the baking powder, salt, frozen corn, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk to the blender. Then, thoroughly blend these ingredients. If you aren’t drizzling honey on top, add two teaspoons of your sweetener of choice to the blender and blend it in.

Step 4: Add the egg to the blender and lightly pulse it in.

Step 5: Lightly spray an oven-safe small baking dish with oil. Then, pour the batter into the baking dish.

Expert Tips

• Spray Ramekin With Oil: Lightly spray your oven-safe ramekin with oil so the cornbread doesn’t stick, and you can easily remove it once cooked.
• Slightly Defrost The Corn: When making this recipe, let the frozen corn defrost for about 5 minutes. It doesn’t need to defrost fully, but let it slightly come to room temperature. It makes it easier to blend the ingredients.
• Blend Until Smooth: Thoroughly blend the ingredients in the blender until smooth. You don’t want your cornbread mixture to have any lumps.
• Pulse In The Egg: Lightly pulse in the egg after you blend the other ingredients. It helps so you don’t over-blend the egg.
• Make More Servings: Double this recipe or make as many individual servings of cornbread in baking dishes as you need.

How To Serve Cornbread

Once cooked, let the cornbread slightly cool. Then, carefully remove it from the ramekin and transfer it to a plate. Drizzle honey over the top and enjoy!

Cornbread Recipe Variations

• What Corn To Use: If you don’t have frozen corn, you can use fresh corn or rinsed and drained canned corn instead.
• Add Sweetener: We did not add a sweetener to the batter as we knew we were drizzling honey on top once cooked. If you aren’t adding honey, use two teaspoons of sugar or a 1:1 sugar-free sweetener. It will lightly sweeten the cornbread.
• Gluten-Free Cornbread: This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you use gluten-free oats. There is no flour in this recipe.
• Make Dairy-Free: Make this cornbread dairy-free. Use your favorite dairy-free milk, such as almond milk.
• Milk Substitution: Use your favorite milk or non-dairy milk. Some options are unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, 1% milk, and non-fat milk.
• Oats Substitution: You can use either rolled oats or quick oats. Don’t use steel-cut oats.
• Use Oat Flour: If you have oat flour on hand, use 1/2 cup of it in this recipe instead of blending the rolled oats into oat flour. Add the oat flour to the blender with the rest of the ingredients and omit the rolled oats.
