Yield: 24 hush puppies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (157 g) cornmeal (fine ground if possible)
- 1½ tsp (5 g) baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup (60 ml) soy milk mixed with
- 1 tsp (5 ml) apple cider vinegar (*use a different milk and omit vinegar)
- ¼ cup (40 g) minced onion
- ¼ cup (60 ml) aquafaba
- 1 tbsp (12 g) vegan sugar (or sweetener of choice to taste)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil (**use extra aquafaba)
- Spray oil (optional)
Instructions
- Add the cornmeal, baking powder and salt to a medium-size mixing bowl and combine well.
- Mix in the nondairy milk, onion, aquafaba, sugar and olive oil.
- Scoop a tablespoon (15 g) of batter and roll into a ball. You can also just use a 1 tablespoon (15 g) scoop. Place in your air fryer basket.
- Once the basket is full, spray the tops with oil if using. Bake at 390°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Repeat until all the hush puppies are cooked.
Notes
You can use a piece of perforated parchment paper under the hush puppies to keep them from sticking.
