Dairy-Free & Nut-Free Mealie Bread
A sweet and savory South African corn bread, adapted to be free of dairy and nuts, making it a delicious and inclusive side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Dairy-Free Milk (e.g., oat milk)
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 can (300g) Creamed Corn
- 1 can (300g) Whole Kernel Corn, drained
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with a small amount of the 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil, then dust it with a small amount of the 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, tapping out any excess.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1 cup Cornmeal, 1/2 cup Sugar, 2 teaspoons Baking Powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- 3In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the 2 large Eggs until they are well blended. Add the remaining 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil and the 1 cup Dairy-Free Milk to the beaten eggs, and whisk everything together until thoroughly combined.
- 4Pour the wet ingredient mixture from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain; be careful not to overmix the batter.
- 5Add the 1 can (300g) Creamed Corn and the 1 can (300g) Whole Kernel Corn (which should be drained) to the batter. Gently fold these into the mixture until they are evenly distributed.
- 6Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Bake for 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- 7Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Let the mealie bread cool slightly in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting it into portions and serving.
