What Makes This Southern Cornbread No Eggs Great?
Not having eggs in this cornbread doesn’t take away any of its richness or moisture. In fact, it adds a wonderful crumbly texture that goes perfectly with the slightly sweet and earthy flavors of the cornmeal. Because the ingredients are simple, the important tastes of the cornbread really stand out, making it a fantastic choice to go with lots of different dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
How to Make Southern Cornbread No Eggs?
Preheat and Prepare
Turn the oven knob to 425°F (220°C). Put a little oil in a pan or baking dish so the cornbread gets a yummy golden crust.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a big bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk it all together until everything is mixed up.
Create the Wet Mixture
In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, vegetable oil, applesauce, and maple syrup (if you have it). Applesauce helps the cornbread be yummy without using eggs – it makes it moist and holds it together.
Combine and Mix
Slowly pour the wet mix into the dry stuff. Stir it gently until it’s just mixed. Don’t stir too much; we want it to be just right.
Bake to Perfection
Put the mix into the pan and make it smooth on top with a spatula. Bake it for 20-25 minutes until the edges are a nice golden color and a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. That means it’s ready to eat!
