I came up with a version that takes 2 to 3 hrs in my convection oven, to my surprise he is happy with it:D
I take:
2 large ears of corn or you can use frozen if you don't have fresh
2 cups of fresh corn grits from the health food store, you can grind them slightly if you don't want them too grainy.
Set aside 2 cups of almond milk or any seed milk.
Add a tsp. and a half of baking powder from your health food store, this helps to make it lighter.
I mix these ingredients a little at a time and place in my food processor so as not to burn the motor out.
I add a little sea salt and about a Tbls. of olive oil to the processor.
After it's all blended together i pour it into a baking pan and place it in my convection oven on low around 120 and then i turn it down for 3 to 4 hrs and when you touch the top it will be firm and then i will leave it in another 30 minutes and let sightly cool.
I have found that when i slice it out of the pan and pour agrave syrup over it it tastes really good.
I made some to go with my raw soup (corn and tomato).

Sounds yummy but doesn't sound raw to me.

All except for the corn grits, i guess they are not raw, i thought they were.
Oh, well live and learn, my husband is not all raw and i wanted to make cornbread that was not baked or fried.

Hi Bethany,

Good to see your husband likes your creation. However baking powder and baking soda aren't raw.

Well, while it doesn't sound completely raw, it does sound better than cornbread with eggs, milk, and shortning. Especially if he likes it fried like my hubby does.
Hmmm... I may have to try that on him. Wonder where I could get corn grits?

Sounds to me like a step in the right direction! I bet you could even modify the other stuff so that it's completely raw?

Either way, it does sound tasty.

Speaking of corn, I am still shocked that doesn't have to be cooked! That's a whole other thread though! :D

these can be found in your local health food store, mine were in the cooler section of the store, i thought they were raw but i guess not.
Anyway it's better than fried or baked cornbread i think.
My husband is happy and we still don't have a stove:D :D

Why baking soda isn't raw?
