Cornmeal gives cornbread its classic color and flavor, but too much can make your bread crumbly. Try replacing a little bit of cornmeal with flour. The specific measurements will depend on how much cornmeal and flour is in your recipe, but you should try to have more flour than cornmeal in your batter.

The Cotton Creations Vegan Honey Pecan Cornbread mix has the perfect balance of sweet and buttery. It's so moist you won't know if you're eating cornbread or cake. The mix includes a package of candied pecans and vegan honey (inside the bag of mix).

Almond milk – For moisture. If you don't keep almond milk on hand, feel free to substitute a different type of milk. My homemade oat milk or regular cow's milk would work here too. An egg – It adds richness and helps the cornbread puff up in the oven.

This product is not vegan as it lists 1 ingredient that derives from animals and 2 ingredients that could derive from animals depending on the source.

Applesauce is an excellent substitute because it has pectin, a naturally occurring substance that helps ingredients stick together and remains stable. Pectin will also prevent your cornbread from becoming too dry. One egg is equivalent to a quarter cup of applesauce in a substitute.

The yolk will make the texture more dense and smooth, a bit brownie-like, while the fact that your original batter was too thick means that the additional liquid will help the baking powder achieve better leavening, giving you an airier texture.

Jiffy cornbread mix is not vegan because it contains lard, a clarified fat derived from the belly of a pig.

Can I substitute water for milk in cornbread mix? Yes, you can, but it may result in a less rich flavor. If you're out of milk, try using cream or half-and-half, evaporated or powdered milk, or even plain yogurt. If you have dietary restrictions, try soy milk or oat milk.

Can I use sour cream instead of milk in cornbread? ›

Sour Cream can be substituted for milk in cornbread but will need to be thinned. I recommend using 75% sour cream and 25% water. Sour Cream will also change the taste of the cornbread and will add a slight tangy flavor which can be counteracted by using a small amount of vanilla extract.

You can just use water instead which is what most cornbread mixes ask for in the first. I've used both before and it normally turns out good either way. If you don't want to use water though some other milk substitutes are usually other dairy products like yogurt, sour cream, or half and half.

Easy Cornbread Made with Mayonnaise

The regular Jiffy corn muffin mix contains lard, so it's not vegetarian. But this new vegetarian one is vegan, and you can keep it vegan by using your own egg replacer and non-dairy milk, as I did. A great option to keep on hand when you want some quick corn muffins to go with soup, chili, etc.
