This is a “usual” in our home. We have it probably 1-2 times a month. I LOVE pot pie, but wasn’t sure that it was even an option once we became vegan and plant-based. This great recipe really hits the spot! The cornbread topping is a great addition to this pot pie as well and makes for a tasty combo.

Serves: 6
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 3-4 russet or red potatoes
- 2 medium sized carrots
- 1 medium onion
- ¼ cup wheat flour
- 2¼ cups vegetable broth
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 cup frozen peas
- ¾ cup frozen corn
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
For cornbread topping:
- ¾ cup cornmeal
- ¾ cup wheat flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp agave
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup unflavored non-dairy milk
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, or you can sub applesauce here
- 1 Tbsp flax meal
- 3 Tbsp water
Directions
Filling directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Chop your potatoes and carrots into bite-size pieces and boil in a pot for 8-10 minutes or until they are just beginning to be soft, but not fully cooked.
- While those are boiling, chop your onion and saute in ¼ cup vegetable broth on medium heat. Once they are cooked add your ¼ cup wheat flour to the the pan and stir until the onions are evenly coated.
- I like to chop the chickpeas a little so they're in smaller pieces, but you can skip this step if you would like.
- Add your vegetable broth, cooked carrots and potatoes, chickpeas, peas, corn and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes or until it begins to thicken a little and your peas and corn aren't frozen anymore. Place in a large corning-ware dish and set aside.
Cornbread topping directions:
- First mix your 1 Tbsp flax meal and 3 Tbsp water together in a small bowl then set aside. In a separate bowl mix remaining ingredients. Once they are well combined add your flax meal mixture and stir well.
- Place this in clumps on the top of your filling and then spread evenly.
- Place in your oven that is heated to 400 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread becomes lightly golden.
- Let cool and serve. Don't forget to sprinkle your salt on after served.
I’m sure this Vegan Pot Pie with Cornbread Crust won’t disappoint! Hope you enjoy!
