 Method:

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Mix the cornmeal, flour, nutritional yeast, and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a large measuring cup, mix together the soymilk and lemon juice – it will curdle slightly and look like buttermilk. Stir the soymilk into the dry ingredients, and mix briefly with a fork – a few lumps are fine.

Pour the batter into silicone muffin forms, and bake for about 30 minutes or until they test done in the centre.

Comments:

Well, I really enjoyed the chowder and especially the corn bread. I have been a little bit hungry and ended having an apple and a banana.
