This rich vegan cornbread recipe with Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat (HTB) is beyond delicious. It’s one of the healthiest high-protein cornbread recipes you can make.

That’s because HTB rocks all nine essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and immense prebiotics for your gut.

It’s also fiber-rich, high-protein, and the “most immuneoactive, nutrient-dense plant yet discovered,” says Dr. Jeffrey Bland of Big Bold Health.  

Packed into a succulent vegan cornbread recipe it adds a rich earthy taste. 🍞 😋

Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat Cornbread Recipe

Vegan buckwheat cornbread with HTB and almond flour is easy to make. It’s also high-protein and exceptionally rich.

You can load it with vegan cheese, jalapenos, garlic, chopped veggies, plant-based chorizo, and greens. It also rocks with organic corn kernels, kidney beans, and lightly sauteed leeks.

Vegan Cornbread Recipe

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 and prep a 9 x 9″ baking pan with oil or wax paper. You can also use a cast iron skillet.
• Mix the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and pink salt in a bowl.
• In a separate bowl whisk the chia eggs, plant milk, and sour cream until smooth, then add to the dry ingredients.
• Melt the vegan butter (I use organic Earth Balance) and add it in, stirring until smooth.
• Spread evenly in the pan and bake 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry.

How to Make a Chia Egg

To make one chia egg mix a tablespoon of ground or soaked whole organic chia seed with 3 tablespoons of filtered water, wait for 10 minutes, mix again, then use.

Vegan egg substitutes are widely available, but chia is healthiest. It’s a complete vegan protein with all nine essential amino acids.

You can get chia seed here.

By the way, I typically blend HTB flour with sorghum, almond, millet, coconut, or bean. It’s also great with basic gluten-free organic bread and pastry flours, preferably sprouted.

Enjoy! 😋
