Why this recipe works

When I think of Slow Cooker Chili, Vegetarian Chili, fried chicken, or Easy Sweet Potato Soup, I always picture a hot buttery piece of this homemade kosher skillet baked cornbread recipe alongside it. This is the Best Non Dairy Cornbread recipe because it is:

  • Super tasty. There is nothing like sinking your teeth into that fluffy, yet substantial, sweet piece of cornbread.
  • Comes out perfect every time. Moist on the inside, crusty on the outside, and just a bit crumbly, this cornbread dressing is richly sweet without being mistaken for cake.
  • Easy to make. This recipe has 3 steps from beginning to end. It could not be easier.
  • Ready in under 30 minutes. Prep takes 5 minutes and the baking time is between 20 and 25 minutes.
  • Dairy free recipes can be served with anything. This recipe is dairy free and pareve so it can be served with meat or dairy meals.

How to make the Best Dairy Free Cornbread Step by Step

Making this golden skillet-baked cornbread recipe could not be any simpler. No special ingredients or baking pans required. No electric mixer needed. And it's all ready in just half an hour! Making this recipe is as easy as 1,2,3.

Step 1 - Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Combine the flour, corn meal, brown sugar, salt, and banking powder together and mix lightly to combine.

Step 2 - Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and combine.

You want to combine them separately because the egg needs to be beaten into the almond milk and oil first. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated. Do not over stir.

Step 3 - Pour and bake.

Pour the batter into a greased cast iron skillet or 9x13 baking pan. Use a spatula to get all of the batter out of the mixing bowl. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 375ºF. The top should be golden brown when it is done.

Recipe FAQ

  • Do I need to use brown sugar?
  • No, you can use regular granulated sugar. You could even reduce the amount of sugar for a less sweet cornbread. I have been told this cornbread recipe comes out well with sugar substitutes but I have not tried them myself. If you do please let me know how it comes out.
  • I don't have a cast iron skillet, can I use a regular baking pan?
  • Yes, this recipe can be made in an 8-inch round or 9x13 baking dish. If you want you could even make this recipe into cornbread muffins and reduce cooking time to 12-15 minutes.
  • What kind of oil should I use?
  • Generally a mild cooking oil such as canola or vegetable oil is recommended. I have made this cornbread recipe with olive oil and avocado oil as well and once I even used melted coconut oil. You can even use melted butter if you crave that delicious buttery richness and you feel like going dairy. The flavor of your baked cornbread recipe may vary depending which oil you use, but you can choose whichever fat you prefer for this recipe and it should turn out delicious.
  • Homemade Dairy Free Cornbread Is Amazing!

    Homemade cornbread dressing used to be a larger part of the American diet and has declined slightly in recent years. It is still a staple in Southern cuisine but has declined elsewhere. That means that there is a good chance that everyone reading this post is going to love the idea of hot buttery kosher cornbread recipe but have no idea what to serve it with.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Diced jalapenos or habaneros. (Be careful, this can get a lot hotter than you think it will).
    • Crumbled pre-cooked breakfast sausage.
    • Sage, thyme, and dried cranberries. This makes more of a cornbread dressing that can be served alongside turkey or lamb.
    • Pecans and a touch of maple syrup. You can also add this as a topping at the end.
    • Vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel or maple syrup and bourbon reduction as a dessert.
    • Spicy cornbread dessert. It may sound strange but try the ice cream option over the jalapeno cornbread. You will never see dessert in the same way again.
    • Pour vegetarian chili or meat chili over the top.
    • Drizzle honey and hot sauce over the top of a slice and serve along side fried chicken.
    • For a fun breakfast, serve with butter on top along side two sunny side up eggs.

      Do you mean the fine cornmeal that has the consistency of flour or the the slight grainy cornmeal, because I have both kinds at home?

        Hi, great question! I use the grainy yellow cornmeal. If you try it with the smooth corn flour please let me know how it comes out.
