This Hatch Chili Cornbread is incredibly moist and fluffy, thanks to the addition of some vegan buttermilk. Mixing some hatch chili salsa into the batter, gives it a pleasant kick of spiciness, making it the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of hearty vegan chili. Serve the cornbread warm with a dollop of vegan butter, or alongside your favorite soups, stews, or chili.
