Before this recipe, the MB team was divided when it came to creamed corn. But things have changed. After making this version, it was unanimously decided that creamed corn deserves a spot at every<\/em> holiday meal (and beyond)!\u00a0<\/p>\n

This rich, creamy, lightly sweetened version is perfectly seasoned and undetectably vegan. It\u2019s an easy, comforting side with just 7 ingredients<\/strong> and 25 minutes<\/strong> required. Let us show you how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n

Origin of Creamed Corn<\/h2>\n

Creamed corn is a staple at many tables in the United States, but it\u2019s especially common in the Midwest and the South. Homemade versions often include milk or cream, but we were surprised to learn that canned versions often don\u2019t contain any milk or cream at all!<\/p>\n

It turns out canned versions aren\u2019t alone. Creamed corn originated<\/a> in Native American cuisine, and the \u201cmilky\u201d part came from scraping immature corn kernels from the cob and mixing them with whole pieces of corn.<\/p>\n

Our version more closely resembles the richer Midwestern and Southern versions, but we swap out the dairy ingredients and use vegan alternatives.<\/p>\n

How to Make Vegan Creamed Corn<\/h2>\n

This simple, 7-ingredient vegan creamed corn begins with our trusty sidekick for replicating the rich, neutral creaminess<\/strong> of dairy: cashews. When blended with water, they turn into a thick, creamy milk. No straining or soaking needed!<\/p>\n

\"Stirring<\/figure>\n

Then we add the cashew milk to a skillet with frozen corn (for ease!)<\/strong> along with vegan butter for additional creaminess, maple syrup for sweetness, and salt and pepper for flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Pouring<\/figure>\n

The mixture thickens as it cooks, but we take the creaminess factor even further by adding a (gluten-free) flour<\/a> and water slurry. A little more cooking and it achieves a super creamy, luxurious texture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We hope you LOVE this creamed corn! It\u2019s:<\/p>\n
