Fat-free Cornbread

[Guest guest]

With all due respect to the poster, I don't think a cornbread recipe calling for

1/4 cup of oil can be considered " fat free " on a " fat free " vegan recipe list.

 

Here's three recipes with no added fat (one from the List Owner's fatfreevegan

website) that I found with a quick web search:

With all due respect, that's why I added:

 

" I have made this virtually fat free, by using more maple syrup and a

lot less oil. It's good that way, too... just different. "

 

It really is a good recipe, both ways. I like it anyway. I've eaten

it that way for 13 years and thought I'd share it with the list.

 

Have you tried any of the " official " fat free ones you posted links

to?

From this List's Official Description: " This list is for posting vegan recipes

with no added oils (i.e. no olive oil or margarine), and high-fat ingredients

such as avocado or nuts should be limited. "

 

Maybe I'm wrong, but as I understand it, " a lot less " isn't the same as " no

added oils. "

Mark,

 

Would it make you happy if I told you I've made it with no added oil?

I have. And it was delicious.

 

Perhaps it might be handy for some to learn how to fatfreeify a good

vegan recipe. Then again they could just stick with your recipes

(which you didn't say whether you've tried or not.)

 

for the benefit of the list, though, and to please your requirements,

i present to you my modified simply vegan cornbread recipe, in it's

fat free and delicious glory:

 

Corn Bread

(From Simply Vegan but whipped in to listready shape by a no doubt

inferior vegan (though quite often fatfree) chef.)

 

(Serves: 6) (serves the hell out of 3)

 

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 cup soy milk

1/3 cup pure maple syrup (the real stuff. grade a)

1/4 cup more maple syrup (mmm, maple syrup.)((it's very important that

you never put a tablespoon of oil in this recipe.)) (((i can not be

held responsible if you disregard this warning)))

 

preheat oven to 375 degrees (maybe 400 if you're feeling crazy.)(405

would be downright evil, wouldn't it.) ?. mix ingredients together in

a bowl.

Pour batter into non stick cake pan. (don't use a canola oil spray

like brett does - he is a bad man.) bake for 20 minutes, or more if

you like it crunchy.

 

mmmm

 

the leftovers are awesome for breakfast too, toasted's even better

 

hygieia,

Okay guys, could we put an end to The Great Cornbread Debate? Thanks,

Mark, for posting links to those other fat-free cornbread recipes

(though I note you left out my own Confetti Cornbread, hmmm.) ;-) I

love the third one you list, Deluxe Cornbread, and it's actually the

basis for my recipe. However, please don't feel that you have to

monitor the list for every oily recipe; when it's for " makeover "

purposes, I usually let them slide through.

 

And thank you, Brett, for the new cornbread recipe. Since I'm from

the South, it's too sweet for my taste, but it should appease those

who think there aren't enough " Northern " cornbread recipes in our

archives. :-)

 

Finally, I'm sure that Serene didn't mean to stir up such controversy

when she said that her cornbread was neither fatfree nor vegan. She's

an experienced enough cook (and familiar enough with the fatfreevegan

website, where there are at least 11 recipes posted) that she could

have cooked up some ffv cornbread if she had wanted to. We don't

require that everyone here eat a fat-free vegan diet, though it's

wonderful to see how many people stepped in to help with suggestions

and recipes. You guys rock!

Thanks.

 

btw, I was raised in the south. mainly south carolina (columbia)

 

but i never took to grits, so i guess i'm not steroetypical in other

ways, too. I love my cornbread a little sweet.

 

too each their own, though, and to all a good night! ho ho ho

 

love and peace (and no vegan grease!)

 

hygieia,

Did anyone notice that I posted my mom's cornbread recipe? In case it

got lost, I will paste it here. BTW, Mom was born and raised in

Kentucky. She also made a fried cornbread, which I also make fat free

and vegan :-) Below is the baked cornbread recipe.

 

I make a vegan fat-free corn bread that is quite good. It is an

adaptation of my mom's recipe.

 

 

1 cup yellow corn meal

1 cup flour (all purpose or whole wheat)

1/4 cup beet sugar

2 tsp baking powder (Rumsford)

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup soy milk

1/4 apple sauce

1 egg worth of egg replacer (I use the powdered stuff that sounds like energy,

but I cannot recall the spelling), wisked with a fork

 

Mix the dry ingredients together. Mix the wet ingredients together. Put the

wet ingredients in the dry ingredients. Bake in a square baking dish at 400

degrees for 20-25 minutes, until top is golden and toothpick comes out clean.

 

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting it, Aly. It looks similar in proportions to my

recipe (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/07/confetti-cornbread.html),

though I use less sugar. Maybe it's how I grew up, but I can't stand

any sweetness in cornbread.

 

All this talk of cornbread has made me want some--with Creole

black-eyed peas, of course!

 

Thanks again for the recipe.

Aly,

 

I made this for lunch this afternoon to go with my vegan gumbo...it was

a huge hit. I used flax seed for the egg replacer.

 

Thanks,
