Vegan Tahini Cornbread

Submitted by Chef #240649

"I love this corn bread recipe. It offers you a choice of using whole wheat pastry flour and white flour in any combination of ratios. I have used it with the w.w. pastry and it is really yummy. It tastes a little hearty, but in a good way! Not over the top, if you know what I mean. It feels like you are eating something good for you, and it tastes good too! It's from the Horn of the moon cookbook (Ginny Callan). I have swapped out molasses for maple syrup or honey."

I used applesauce instead of oil and an eggwhite because the mixture seemed very runny and I was afraid it wouldn't hold together. 25 minutes seemed cook the outside perfectly, yet the inside was still undercooked- which i find is the case with all cornbread recipes i've tried. The molasses adds a nice flavour and colour, especially making the outer crust darker than the inside. Not very sweet- which i like, and goes perfectly with a vegetarian chili.
