Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 5:41 PM I know it's a day 13 recipe but from the previous Kickstart, has anyone made these? I made them and they were awful, threw them away! Maybe others had a better experience? |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Monday, September 5, 2011 at 5:54 PM I made them a few weeks after the last Kickstart, and I really like them. They may not be for you... or, maybe it was just too soon. I freeze them and pop one into the toaster oven to accompany many meals, soups, chowders, stews. They are solid, that it true, they ARE almost solid fibre! Try not to think of them as a "muffin" if you are expecting that to be light and fluffy. So much is in the expectation. I wouldn't find shortbread too hard or dense (if I still ate it that is - madeline madeline yakimchuk

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 5:31 PM Try googling "blue ribbon vegan cornbread" if you're looking for a tastier recipe (less fiber, though). I forget the name of the girl who authored it, but it's been reprinted all over the internet and supposedly really took the ribbon at the Iowa State Fair one year. It's the best-tasting vegan cornbread recipe that I've tried so far. |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 6:41 PM Wow, tinabean, that cornbread sounds wonderful! From several of the sites it mentioned that the person who came up with the recipe was 11 years old and wanted to eat vegan.(Who knows if that is actually truth or legend! It won several years ago.) Many thanks...from a cornbread lover! Pam |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 11:06 AM How timely this thread is! Just last night, I was wondering if there happened to be a good recipe for vegan cornbread as I had not read to Day 13 yet. Yippee! Thanks for all the info! I will be trying these. |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 11:17 AM I didn't like those muffins the first time I tried them, either. Now, I think they're just okay. I just take our favorite cornbread recipe and veganize it by substituting ground flax seeds + water for the eggs and vegan "butter" for the butter. Comes out great every time and even my husband can't tell it's vegan. |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 11:22 AM also, if you can get freshly ground corn meal, you can virtually eliminate any sweetener in any corn bread recipe (unless you want a touch of sweet for other reasons). Most cornbread recipes use at least a little sweetener of some sort because the oil in the ground corn has been sitting on the shelf getting old and bitter. Freshly ground (especially if you use good quality popcorn) is really SWEET and doesn't need more sweetener (again, sometimes a little sweeter makes a good contrast for whatever it's being served with). --Deb R |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 12:22 PM I've tried the blue ribbon with a little less oil, but I've never tried it without. I'm not sure what the difference would be or what substitutions are good for oil. |

Not sure about relative proportions. --Deb R |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 12:58 PM what about soy yogurt or even vegan sour cream or maybe even some silken tofu to give it the creaminess and moisture. sometimes they come out so dry.. Kathy |

You can also use canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling - just straight pumpkin). Again, use the same amount of pumpkin instead of oil. I have done that in cornbread before and we liked it. Just makes the cornbread a darker color. |

RE: Day 13 cornbread muffins. Awful! Posted Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 7:54 PM I also thought the cornbread was awful. I looked for an old-fashioned southern style recipe, because I wanted mine to be unsweetened. I found one that did not call for eggs or sweetener. I had to substitute soy milk for buttermilk, and oil for bacon grease. Life is a song worth singing. |

, but we expect muffins to be light.
Not sure about applesauce in cornbread but I'll bet it would be pretty good.| New Topic Reply Subscription Options |
