Corn bread is a Native American Southwest staple. This recipe from the Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky cookbook adds a little spice from the poblano chiles and some little bursts of sweetness from the fresh corn kernels.
What you need:
1¼ cups finely ground yellow cornmeal
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons ground chia seeds
1¼ cups oat milk
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
¼ cup sunflower oil
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large poblano chile, roasted, peeled, and chopped
1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen

What you do:
