I wanted to make a cornbread to go along with my 3 Bean Vegan Chili that was sweet and contained no oil. Not an easy feat, but I think it turned out pretty good!

I have discovered coconut flour and if you tried the Healthy Vegan Carrot Cake recipe, you know the “icing” calls for adding it to create a coconut flavor.

The secret ingredient is….coconut flour

So I wondered if I used coconut flour, would it give it the save sweet flavor?

Yes, yes it does!

Coconut flour is pretty easy to find – I get mine at Kroger. But it is also available online if you can’t find it in your area.

Use ground flax seed instead of eggs

Also, since this is a vegan recipe, I did not use eggs. Instead I add ground flax seed to help bind it together. You can mix ground flax with water to create a gooey texture to use as egg, but I just threw in the flax and mixed it all together. I’m lazy….

I also used coconut milk (refrigerated, not canned) to add more sweet coconut flavor. I did find that when using coconut flour & coconut milk, it required a lot more liquid to get to the desired consistency for baking. I’m not sure if that was because of the ground flax or coconut flour, but I just had to keep adding coconut milk until it was right at about 3 cups.

I also did not add salt, so if you desire a little salt to taste.

I used no-salt added canned corn because that’s what I had on hand, but you can definitely use frozen corn kernels instead.
