This Vegan Creamed Corn is SO ridiculously simple to make and certainly satisfying. No one will even know that it’s dairy free and plant-based! Dependable for holiday dinners or even simple busy-night meals.
I teased this creamed corn on my Instagram last week and got SO MANY messages asking for the recipe, I ended up typing it up and sharing it early. Then I almost forgot that I needed to actually post it on the blog!
TA DA! Mind blowing and simple Vegan Creamed Corn simply in time for the holidays.
The nice thing about creamed corn is that it wasn’t all that difficult to veganize. The milk is replaced with plant-based milk while the butter is replaced with a simple vegan butter. UNFUSSY but still so so ridiculously satisfying.
One of the other things that Worth keeping about this method: it’s so speedy and simple to throw together. I wasn’t even going to serve it for the holidays this year (only because we’re making SO MANY other side dishes) BUT now I’m officially hooked. AND since it’s unfussy to make, I figured why not?
Ingredients in this dish:
- Frozen corn– I like the simplicity of frozen corn and it’s what I almost always use. However, you can also use canned corn. Only be sure to drain the liquid from the can first!
- Onion + garlic
- Flour– this helps thicken things up a bit
- Vegan butter– genuinely any kind will work!
- Plant based milk– I tried this will several different kinds of vegan milk. My go-to is unflavored oat milk
- Maple syrup– for only a touch of sweetness:)
Alright well, that’s it for today! As always, if you end up making this method, please snap a photo and tag me on Instagram @! I always love to see what y’all are making from the blog!
I hope that you all have a welcome holiday week and eat far too much:D
