Cheesy Cornbread Recipe | Vegan Holiday Recipe
I love cornbread!! No seriously, I LOVE it! It’s literally the best thing for soup ever! It’s also an awesome Thanksgiving appetizer or starter to serve your guests while they wait for the main course. Pair this savoury, golden goodness with your favourite vegan soup for a scrumptious lunch, or eat it on its own for breakfast or as a snack. This skillet of happiness bread is herbed with sage (my favourite spice of all time), rosemary and a pinch of cayenne. You can totally leave that out if spice isn’t your thing. If cheesy food also isn’t your thing, you can leave out the vegan cheese as well, although, it don’t recommend it since it really makes this magical vegan cornbread stand out from the rest of the boring, not cheese having vegan cornbread recipes out there on the internet. Once it’s done simply cut it into pieces and enjoy, this recipe take only 30 minutes total to make! I’m a Canadian living in Canada, so I have already celebrated the Holiday of thanksgiving, but I would like to all my American readers, and viewers a very Happy Thanksgiving! Family is super important so hopefully you’re spending the holiday with your loved ones!!!

I feel physically compelled to adapt this to be baked in a 9 x 13″ glass dish. I’ll let you know how it turns out. If you’ve done that successfully before, tips would be so appreciated!
