Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Combine the first 6 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yogurt or applesauce, oil, and half of the rice milk. Stir until well combined, adding just a bit more nondairy milk if needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter, but don't let the batter be too wet.

Step 4

Stir in the chilies and corn kernels.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into an oiled 9-inch-square baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center tests clean.

Step 6

Let cool slightly; cut into 3 sections in one direction and 4 in the other to create 12 squares. Serve warm.
