Makes 24 hushpuppies

gluten-free, soy-free option*, no oil added option**

Hush puppies are little balls of fried cornbread flecked with onions. They were originally made of a cornmeal batter that was used to coat fish. They really were given to the pups!

• 1 cup (157 g) cornmeal (fine ground if possible)
• 1½ tsp (5 g) baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ cup (60 ml) soy milk mixed with
• 1 tsp (5 ml) apple cider vinegar (*use a different milk and omit vinegar)
• ¼ cup (40 g) minced onion
• ¼ cup (60 ml) aquafaba 
• 1 tbsp (12 g) vegan sugar (or sweetener of choice to taste)
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil (**use extra aquafaba)
• Spray oil (optional)

Add the cornmeal, baking powder and salt to a medium-size mixing bowl and combine well.

Mix in the nondairy milk, onion, aquafaba, sugar and olive oil.

Scoop a tablespoon (15 g) of batter and roll into a ball. You can also just use a 1 tablespoon (15 g) scoop. Place in your air fryer basket.

Once the basket is full, spray the tops with oil if using. Bake at 390°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Repeat until all the hush puppies are cooked.

Note: You can use a piece of perforated parchment paper under the hush puppies to keep them from sticking.
