This vegan creamed corn casserole recipe is a 100% plant-based take on the classic, conventional cornbread casserole. Made easy with the help of a crockpot (or another slow cooker), the vegan corn pudding uses blended silken tofu to produce its deliciously creamy texture. It’s a terrific savory side dish with sweet corn undertones to accompany your plant-based meal.

I love using a slow cooker when I’m preparing a large holiday meal! It totally frees up oven space and helps with mealtime management.

1. Carefully drain, (not press) the liquid from a 16-ounce block of firm Silken tofu. Cut in in half. You will be using only 8 ounces.

TOFU MIXTURE

2. In a blender, place tofu, vinegar, lemon juice, and chia seeds. Blend together on high until the tofu mixture is smooth and well blended. Set aside.

COMBINE & BLEND

3. Drain sweet corn; keep creamed corn undrained. Melt butter. In a bowl, combine drained sweet corn, creamed corn, melted vegan butter, tofu mixture, vegan cornbread mix, and shredded cheddar. Blend well.

DRAIN & COMBINE

4. Spray the cooking pot/liner of the slow cooker with cooking spray. Pour in the mixed ingredients. Set on high for 3 hours or until cooked through. If this is the first time making this recipe, check for doneness at 2 and a half hours. Spoon up some of the bottom to see if it's already browned.
