Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour (40 g) (regular or gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- scant 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 12 fluid ounces JUST Egg (liquid plant-based egg substitute)
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened non-dairy creamer or milk (such as soy, oat, or coconut)
Add-ins
- 3 to 3½ cups sweet corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
Instructions
- Plan: About 1 hour before cooking, remove the JUST Egg carton from the refrigerator to warm to room temperature. If using frozen corn, place it in a bowl to thaw.
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly oil a 9-inch (2 quart) square baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: Pour the JUST Egg into a large mixing bowl. If it’s still cold, microwave on medium power for about 10 seconds to slightly warm it. Melt the vegan butter and drizzle it into the JUST Egg while whisking continuously. Then whisk in the non-dairy creamer or milk until smooth.
- Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk lightly just until smooth; do not overmix. Gently fold in 3 cups of the corn kernels.
- Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spoon to evenly distribute the corn. Optionally, sprinkle the remaining ½ cup corn evenly on top. Bake uncovered for 50 to 55 minutes or until the pudding is set in the center and the top turns golden brown.
- Serve: Allow the corn pudding to cool slightly, then serve warm as a comforting side dish.
Notes
- JUST Egg is a plant-based egg substitute sold in cartons; warming it before mixing helps with better batter consistency.
- You can use regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour based on dietary preference.
- Non-dairy creamer like soy, oat, or coconut milk works best to maintain creaminess without dairy.
- Make sure the corn is thawed if frozen to ensure even cooking.
- This dish reheats well and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
