A little savory, sweet, AND tart, these healthy, low-fat, vegan cranberry corn muffins have cranberry sauce hidden in the middle so you get a burst of fresh cranberry in every bite! Very easy to prepare, these festive cornbread muffins are oil-free, nut-free, and easily made gluten-free.

Vegan Cranberry Cornbread Muffins (Oil-Free; GF Option)

cornmeal

all-purpose

baking powder

baking soda

fine sea salt

soy milk (see Notes.)

apple cider vinegar

apple sauce

cranberries, halved (fresh or frozen and thawed.)

Prep

First, head over to this cranberry sauce recipe and make a batch (or a half batch if you don&#39;t want much leftover).

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 C), and lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with oil or use muffin liners.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, vinegar, maple syrup, and apple sauce. Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir to combine. Fold in the halved cranberries, reserving a palmful for decorating the tops of the muffins.

Prepare

Spoon enough batter into each muffin cup to cover the bottoms. Then place about 1 ½ teaspoons of cranberry sauce in the center of each one. Evenly divide the remaining batter among the muffin pan so that the cranberry sauce is fully enclosed. Press the reserved cranberries into the tops of any muffins that look like they need a little color.

Bake

Bake for 17 to 19 minutes or until the centers are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.

These are the bomb! My partner and I are digital nomads, heading back on the road in just a few days. I needed to use up some staples I had bought for our 2 month stay in Asheville, and had a simultaneous craving for cornbread. I found your recipe and ... woah! It checked all my boxes. Coarse-ground cornmeal shines in these little jewels!

I made some alterations based on what I had on hand: I halved the recipe. I did not use the cranberries. (Don't be sad. It's great to know how versatile these babies are!) I did use the almond milk substitution and only about a fourth of the maple syrup. 

I baked them in one of those cheap 6-cup aluminum pans you buy at the grocery store. Because of this, I feared they would stick, even with cooking spray, but they slid right out, perfectly intact! No egg? Who knew!

I also love, love, love your suggestion of jalapeno. You can bet I'll be making these again and will give that a try. FanTAStic recipe!

I made these for Thanksgiving and they were tremendous! I'm serving them for Christmas too! Thanks for so many gluten-free recipes! I come to your website often--for inspiration and great recipes!

Made these today. Absolutely delicious and something I would have never thought to put together.

Best Vegan Gluten-Free Cornbread Recipe (Oil-Free)

gluten-free flour

yellow cornmeal

sugar

sea salt

soy milk (or any dairy-free milk)

apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

applesauce (or canola oil)

Make vegan buttermilk by mixing apple cider vinegar with your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk in a small bowl.

Set aside the buttermilk mixture for 10 minutes to curdle.

In the meantime, place all dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Add buttermilk and applesauce to the dry ingredients. Whisk until a smooth batter is formed. Don’t worry about overmixing.

Cover the bowl with a damp paper towel and set aside for 30 minutes in a cool, dry corner of your kitchen.

After the 30 minute rest, give the cornbread batter another mix and pour it into an 8” x 8” baking dish lined with parchment paper sling.

Use a spatula to smooth out the batter into an even layer.

Bake at 375°F for 24 to 26 minutes or when the cornbread looks golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cornbread cool to room temperature before slicing. Use the parchment paper sling to remove the cornbread from the baking dish once slightly cooled. Allow it to finish cooling a wire rack.
