Notas
- Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed from frozen), 1/4 cup chopped jalapeños, 1/2 cup shredded vegan cheese.
- How to store: Before storing, allow the cornbread to cool completely to avoid condensation, which can make it soggy. Wrap the cornbread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to keep the moisture in and prevents it from drying out. Stored at room temperature, your cornbread will last for about 1 to 2 days.
- How to freeze: Cool the cornbread completely before freezing to maintain its texture. Wrap it securely in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or use a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn, and label it with the date. For convenience, slice it beforehand if you plan to thaw individual portions. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw at room temperature or reheat gently in the oven or microwave. Properly stored, frozen cornbread stays fresh for 2–3 months.
