Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons water
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine water and flaxseed meal in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray a 6-inch heat-proof inner pot with cooking spray.

Step 3

Combine cornmeal, flour, nutritional yeast, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add the flaxseed and water mixture, almond milk, and oil; stir until it just comes together with no lumps. Stir in jalapeno and pour into the prepared pot; place into the air fryer.
