Dairy-Free Creamed Corn is thick, rich, and creamy! This quick and easy recipe comes together in under 30 minutes.
Creamed corn is traditionally made with heavy cream, whole milk, and tons of butter. This recipe comes together with a can of sweet corn, dairy-free milk and butter, onion, flour, sugar, and salt.
I enjoy dairy-free creamed corn throughout the year, but it's especially great during the holidays!
How to Make Creamed Corn
Sauté onion: In a skillet with cooking oil, sauté onion until translucent
Drain sweet corn: Drain and rinse corn, reserving half and transferring to a food processor
