½ cupjalapeno peppers

⅓ cupgreen onions

1 cupvegan cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400° F (204° C).

Step 2

Slice 1/3 cup of green onions and dice 1/2 cup jalapeño peppers into small pieces and set aside. (I like to leave the seeds on the peppers for a spicier cornbread, but you can cut the jalapeño into slices and scrape off the seeds if you don't want it as spicy.)

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients (cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) to a large mixing bowl and give them a stir.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir with a whisk until just combined.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the jalapeño slices and green onions (saving about 1 tablespoon of each to sprinkle on top). Toss in 1 cup of vegan cheddar cheese and mix again until combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the bottom of a parchment-lined casserole dish or an oiled 10 or 12” iron skillet or baking pan. (Use an 8 X 8-inch pan for thick slices or a 9 X13 inch for thinner pieces.) Then sprinkle the top with the reserved jalapeno pieces and sliced green onions.

Step 7

Bake at 400° F for about 30-35 minutes. The top will turn golden and start to crack a little when it's done. (Turn to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the top if desired).

Step 8

Let it cool for about 15 minutes before slicing.
