Vegan Mealie bread (Corn bread)

This recipe has a good memory attached to it because it was through this that I discovered David's love for baking. I came to his residence to visit one afternoon after varsity, only to discover him super chuffed with himself and his mealie-bread - not to mention them being in the shape of little owls (LITTLE OWLS). It was damn delicious and a really convenient recipe to discover because we had a braai coming up! It's always nice to have a recipe that everyone can enjoy when you go to have dinner somewhere else and want to bring something to contribute.

This recipe was also an avenue of discovery for David as he discovered my slightly unhealthy obsession for apple Purity - I love the stuff. You will notice that there is apple purity in this recipe, David discovered that you can use it instead of oil. I picked the half-used jar up off the table a polished it off to Davids utter disgust - it was beautiful.

We haven't worked out the price for this recipe but when we do I will edit and add it in - just keep in mind that we are all about saving so it really is a cost-effective recipe.

We hope you enjoy this one - we really do!
