The Best Vegan Pumpkin Cornbread
Ingredients
- 1 Cup All purpose flour
- 1 Cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Cloves, ground
- 1 Can(15oz) Canned pumpkin puree
- 1/4 Cup Vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 Cup Brown sugar
Whipped Maple Cinnamon Butter
- 1/2 Cup Vegan butter, room temperature(I used country crock plant butter)
- 1/3 Cup Maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees(F).
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.
- In a separate medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, melted vegan butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and then stir until fully combined, making sure there are no dry spots left.
- Then, pour the cornbread batter into an 8×8 inch baking dish that is sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment paper.
- Smooth the batter out evenly into the baking dish and then baked for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cornbread.
- While the cornbread bakes, make the whipped butter. Add the room temperature butter to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Begin to whip the butter with a hand mixer or the stand mixer, using the whisk attachment.
- Once the butter has started to get fluffy after 1 to 2 minutes, add the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Continue to whip until everything is fully combined and light and fluffy. About 1 to 2 more minutes. Chill until ready to use.
- Once the cornbread is done, let it cool for a few minutes, cut it into squares and serve warm with the butter you made!

Didn’t really cook all the way through even though I left it in the oven for 50 minutes. Maybe that’s because I used corn flour rather than corn meal. Flavors are actually really good though!
Hi there, unfortunately corn flour is not a replacement for cornmeal. That is probably why it didn’t cook all the way through.
This was seriously amazing! My whole family loved it!
This was so darn good. It was moist and had a nice pumpkin flavor. The butter was really good with it!
