Makes

Author Notes
I've been experimenting since a blood test showed I should go gluten free. Cornbread is such an obvious, easy option, and this one—very loosely adapted from two different Joy of Cooking recipes—is vegan too. This is delicious plain, with honey or agave syrup , jam or marmalade, split and spread with cashew or almond butter or ripe avocado, or crumbled into chili. NOTE: The 8-inch skillet makes a slightly more moist loaf. (You can use a mixer, but why drag it out?) —Antonia AT
