Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and grease your 8x8-inch baking pan.

  • Add the apple sauce mixture to the plant-based milk and gently mix until all the wet ingredients are incorporated into the dry ingredients. Next, gently mix in the corn and 1 of the jalapeños. Be careful not to over-mix!
  • Pour the batter into your greased 8×8-inch baking dish, garnish with the other diced jalapeño, and bake for 30 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out smoothly with no batter sticking to it.
