Corn bread is a delicious accompaniment to soups, barbecued meats, and beans. This recipe may seem like a strange thing to include in a month of canned food recipes, but the fact is that corn bread can be made with canned milk, and canned milk is often under-appreciated as an ingredient. Eggs can be replaced with a combination of chia or flax seeds and water. The result from these substitutions is a simple and delicious bread or muffin made from shelf stable ingredients.
This recipe can make either a pan of cornbread or a dozen corn muffins.
It’s sure to disappear quickly no matter which way you make it. Seriously, my family devours this. I blink, and all that’s left is one piece of bread and a plate full of crumbs.

- 1 tablespoon chia seeds ($0.30)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 cup yellow corn meal ($0.31)
- 1 cup all purpose flour ($0.16)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar ($0.06)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder ($0.05)
- 1 teaspoon salt ($0.03)
- 1 cup evaporated milk ($0.67)
- ⅓ cup corn oil ($0.28)
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Mix chia seeds and water together and set aside. This allows it to become thick and similar to egg in texture.
- Put corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients together, and create a well in the middle.
- In another bowl, mix together evaporated milk, chia and water mixture (or an egg), and the oil. Mix these wet ingredients well.
- Pour liquid ingredients into the well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
- Stir until all ingredients are mixed together being careful not to over mix.
- Pour batter into a greased 8X8 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean.
- This is best served warm with butter.
- TO MAKE CORN MUFFINS: Follow recipe as above, but spoon batter into a 12 cup muffin tin, filling the muffin cups ⅔ of the way full. Bake Muffins for 15 minutes.
