 Hey guys, today I'm feeling pretty good. Pretty excited. We're making Vitamix cornbread. It's one of our oldest recipes actually. I don't know what took us long to get it up on YouTube. Here we are. It's so easy. It's so good. 100% plant-based. There are some substitutions if you want to make it whole food plant-based. And so by default, it's vegan and then par of two. So if you're going to be barbecuing, I want to know quickly there are a lot of steps and a lot of sort of sections within the steps. This is an easy recipe. You can't mess up and it doesn't take a lot of time. Okay, just stick with me. Let's get into it. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. That's about 200 Celsius. Okay, so it's cornbread. We're going to make our own cornmeal using our Vitamix. And today we're using popcorn. You can use dried corn as well. We are using the dry grains container, but you should be able to use any container. Take a cup of dried corn or popcorn. You put it in your Vitamix container and turn it up to variable speed 10 and let it run till it's cornmeal. I mean, it's so easy. And while it's running, I got to tell you, fresh homemade cornmeal is like so much better than store-bought cornmeal. It's something that has stabilizers and additives and preservatives. Admittedly, there are times when we still use store-bought cornmeal. We have a bag sitting in our cabinet, so we use it in a pinch. Sometimes if we don't have dried corn or popcorn to make our own or if we want to just do it really fast or don't want to deal, we're not perfect. We don't claim to Vitamix all of our food and make everything perfectly fresh, but when we do, it's so much better. No tamper. 30 seconds. The only thing I'll say is this is loud. The dried corn hitting against the container is like the loudest thing that you can make in a Vitamix. So get some headphones if you don't already have them. All right, so set our fresh cornmeal aside and we're going to get into the whisk phase. So you're going to use any container. We're going to add one and a half tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and one and a half cups of nut milk. You can probably use water because as we know, store-bought nut milk is basically just water and a few nuts, but old habits die hard and here we are. We'll whisk this mixture together in the Vitamix for about 10 seconds, high speed, and we'll let it sit there for five minutes. This is important. It's going to kind of react while we do the next steps, beginning with the dry ingredients. So in a bowl, we're going to add our cup of cornmeal, three quarters cup of flour. So we're using regular old white flour here, but you can use any flour, holy flour, oat flour, almond flour, whatever you like. And then we'll add one and a half teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of baking soda, and a quarter teaspoon of salt. We're going to mix until it's combined and then transition back to our wet ingredients. So we'll take six tablespoons of melted coconut oil. If you're whole food plant-based, just substitute that with applesauce. That's fine. One tablespoon of maple syrup. Again, if you're whole food plant-based, maybe throw a date or two in. Half a cup of applesauce, and we're mixing all that together with the apple cider vinegar and the nut milk, the stuff that we whisked. We'll blend all that for about 15 seconds on variable speed 10. All right, the last little step is to mix by hand. Vitamix is all done for the day. We're going to pour the wet ingredients into the dry and we're going to mix with a spoon until it's just combined. The batter should have small chunks and should be foamy. We'll pour everything into a greased pan. Be a big loaf pan, brownie pan. We've used these little cute shapes for the holidays and we're going to bake for 20 minutes. When it's all done, let it sit for a few minutes to kind of settle and get some butter. We like this Miocos, yeah, Miocos Creamery. You can show all of the vegetarian who loves cheese and butter out of our house, loves this Miocos. Kids love this cornbread. It's sweet. If you want to hide some black seeds in it and get a little more hearty, a little more healthy, you can do that. And guys, this cornbread really takes your soups, your homemade soups to the next level. And guys, subscribe to our channel if you haven't already.

Thank you so much for watching and we will see you in the next one. Bye guys. Life is no yoke. Thanks. A little post script here. I just went upstairs to say, okay, all done with work for today and said, hey, record of the voiceover for the cornbread video. And Shalva said, hey, that's my recipe. I want to do the voiceover. It is my recipe. We took a lot of scientific research to it correctly. I actually read the post and it said you tried it one time and nailed it. I wonder which of those is true. But it did. I had to research it to do it right the first time. You know, we've been making a recipe for four years. You know, I've had this sweater for like eight.
