Ingredients
  • 1 cup unflavored non-dairy milk

  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • cup organic granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. Lightly oil a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. (see Note)

  3. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk, oil, maple syrup, and flaxseed.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Use a spoon to form a well in the center of the flour mixture, then pour in the milk mixture.

  6. Stir the ingredients together just until fully blended.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

  8. Bake until lightly browned on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
