  • 1 ¼ cups cornmeal
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ cup agave syrup
  • ¾ cup vegan butter melted
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ¼ cup chopped jalapeños
  • sliced jalapeño for garnish
  • ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
  • *for the finishing glaze*
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, and place your 8" cast iron skillet in the oven as it heats.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, agave, melted butter, milk, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms and there are no lumps. Fold in the jalapeño pieces.
  • When the oven is ready, carefully add the oil to the hot cast iron skillet and swirl it around. Add in the cornbread batter, and arrange jalapeno slices on top.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
  • As soon as the cornbread comes out of the oven, mix the melted butter and agave together for the glaze, and pour all over the top.
  • Allow cornbread to cool off, then enjoy!
