Before I lost 125 pounds I always made the boxed Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. I liked how sweet the cornbread muffins were.
Now, that I eat healthier and watch what I put into my body, I skip the box mix and make this eggless cornbread recipe instead. The store-bought stuff has more than 2 teaspoons of sugar per muffin, hydrogenated lard, and BHT. Definitely things that aren’t necessary for delicious cornbread.

Ingredients for this egg free cornbread recipe
You can find the full recipe card, including ingredient quantities, full step-by-step instructions, and nutritional information below.
- Yellow Cornmeal – I used medium-grind cornmeal.
- All-purpose flour – I used all-purpose white flour, but whole wheat flour would work as well. If you want gluten-free cornbread you can use a straight 1:1 ratio. I haven’t tried it, but let me know if you do.
- Plant-based Milk– you can use your favorite non-dairy milk like almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
- Apple Cider Vinegar or lemon juice- we’ll use it to make a vegan buttermilk.
- White Sugar – I used organic cane sugar.
- Baking powder – This will cause your cornbread to rise and act as an egg replacer.
- Salt – pinch
- Vegan butter or oil – I used Earth Balance vegan butter, but you can use avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or any vegetable oil.
How to make this egg free cornbread recipe
Good news! You can make this great recipe with just 8 ingredients and have healthy eggless cornbread in minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking pan, muffin pan, or cast iron skillet.
- Next, make the buttermilk substitute. In a small bowl add the apple cider vinegar to the plant-based milk. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. The milk mixture should slightly thicken and split.
- Now in a large bowl, add all your dry ingredients and mix.
- Finally, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Pour the milk mixture and melted vegan butter or oil into the dry ingredients and mix just until everything is combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the cornbread batter into your baking dish and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

For longer storage, place the cornbread in the refrigerator. Make sure to put it in an airtight container or that it’s well-wrapped. When ready to serve, bring it back to room temperature or warm it in the oven for a few minutes.
If you’re looking to store this egg free cornbread recipe for an extended period, freezing is an excellent option. Wrap individual slices or the entire loaf tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil or a freezer bag.
To thaw, place it in the refrigerator or let it come to room temperature on the counter. Slicing the cornbread before freezing is also convenient, allowing you to thaw only what you need without compromising the rest.
Remember to let the cornbread cool completely before storing to prevent condensation inside the container and maintain its optimal texture.
