This AMAZING Vegan Cornbread is perfectly fluffy and delicious! It is so easy to make and ready in 30 minutes or less. It's also gluten-free, oil-free, sugar-free, and low-calorie - only 85 calories a slice!
Ohhh my goodness you guys.THIS is my latest OBSESSION.
One day recently I had a hankering for cornbread. It was totally random - I can't even remember the last time I had cornbread.
But the craving was coming in strong with no signs of backing down.
So, I hopped online, did some research, and low and behold, this gem of a recipe was born.
Only 85 calories a slice, and so easy to whip up.
Throw everything in a blender (my favorite way to food prep), pour in a baking pan, and pop 'er into the oven.
Twenty minutes later and you have yourself a beautiful, perfectly sweet and fluffy cornbread.

Love the addition of oats! Cornbread is a must right now!
I totally agree. I just love it and love this season!
So great to have a healthier recipe for delicious corn bread!
this will be a nice addition to the thanksgiving table.
I have never tried adding oats to my cornbread before. I'm intrigued.
I have a confession... I have never made cornbread before! But it's crazy because I've always thought it sounded so good. I must change that and this recipe is making me want to try it ASAP!
It is sooo yummy and easy! That's what I love about it. Sometimes I'll drizzle some maple syrup on top and have it for breakfast 😀
This is so easy. I make cornbread whenever I make chili, I'll definitely try this.
Looks delicious! Thanks for making your recipe gluten free!
Lovely ingredients! Cornbread is favorite to my husband! love to try this.
I love, love cornbread! It is so good with chili! I love a really moist piece of cornbread, so satisfying. Nothing worse than a dry piece of cornbread! I love how easy this is.
This sounds wonderful! Some warm cornbread straight out of the oven. I've never tried making my own at home so need to do that sometime this winter!
It is so easy, that's why I love it! And delicious of course 😀
I love a good cornbread recipe! Perfect for all the soup!
I tried this but it came cane out very dense! I noticed there is no leavening agent listed- was this meant to include baking powder or soda?
Thanks!
I just added 1 Tbsp baking powder to the recipe - so sorry about that! It should have been in there! Thanks so much for letting me know, Elizabeth. I really appreciate it, and appreciate you reading my blog and making my recipes!
Warmly,
Annie
this is delish...vegan...fat free...organic = holy grail. thank you for posting. lee ps i skipped your sweetener and put in 2 TBSP maple syrup, SO good!
So glad you liked it!! Thanks for your comment, Lee 🙂
Made this and it is outrageously good. Thank you for pinning. Lee
Yay!! So glad you liked them! 🙂
This sounds delicious! Any idea if this would work with rolled oats instead of quick oats?
I think it would! But I've never tried it so I'm not 100% sure.
What size of baking dish do I use? Also, I loooooove cornbread and any quick bread recipe. This is THE PERFECT recipe. I have been finding a vegan, healthier version for ages!!!
Hi Hannah! I looove this recipe 😀 I hope you love it too! I used an 8x8 square baking dish 🙂
I am trying to go gluten free and found your recipe for cornbread. One problem, I am allergic to oats. Can you help me substitute some other grain for the oats or can I use more cornmeal?
Hi Judy! I have never tried this so I'm not 100% sure it will work, but I would try using gluten-free all purpose flour and seeing how it goes 🙂 Would love to know how this recipe turns out if you try it!
Hi Annie: I’ve been craving cornbread lately, and look forward to trying this recipe! What kind of cornmeal did you use? I have stone-ground at home. Do you think that would work, or should I use another kind?
Hi Christina! I'm pretty sure that will work! I just used the medium grind but I don't know why stone-ground wouldn't work 🙂
I wanted to let you know that I made this recipe and enjoyed it! I don’t have a high-speed blender, so I ground the oats in a food processor until they reached a flour consistency, and then mixed all the ingredients together in a large bowl. That method worked well, and I’d recommend it to any of your readers who also do not have a high-speed blender.
YAY! Thank you so much for letting me know that this will work in a food processor, too. I will update the post!!
