Need some cornbread for your cookout? Want it to be vegan, gluten-free, and refined-oil free? Then you’ve come to the right place!
Don’t let the title scare you. What this cornbread lacks in eggs, dairy, and gluten, it makes for with flavor. The natural sweetness from the applesauce and coconut sugar balances out the nuttiness is the tahini used in place of butter. It makes the perfect pairing for chili or slathered with butter and honey.
This cornbread also only involves a few minutes of hands on time. Toss everything in a bowl, give it a stir, and bake until gorgeously, golden brown. The only hard part is waiting for the cornbread to cool before slicing into it.
I find that this cornbread tastes best after a day in the fridge. Make it the day before your bbq with friends. Or save it for yourself to enjoy all week long (I won’t judge, it’s that good!)
