Ingredients: 
  • 2/3 cup rice milk or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 3/4 cup organic cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup organic corn flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup jalapeños, seeded and diced
  • 2/3 cup diced vegan cheddar cheese

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.  Lightly grease an 8 x 4 x 3″ loaf pan with coconut oil.
  • 2. Pour the rice milk and apple cider vinegar into a small bowl.  Do not stir, just set aside to develop a ‘buttermilk’.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, corn flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and salt.
  • 4. Add the oil, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla to the dry ingredients.  Stir until well combined.
  • 5. Pour the ‘buttermilk’ into the batter and mix gently until all ingredients are combined and a slightly grainy batter is formed.
  • 6. Using a silicone spatula, fold in the jalapeños and cheese until evenly distributed.
  • 7. Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake on the center rack for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 8. Let stand in the pan for 20 minutes.  Gently remove from pan and cut into approximately 10 slices.
  • Can store for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Enjoy!
