Humita Dulce (My Version): Vegan Sweet Pudding (made of corn and banana)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining moisture.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can reduce cost.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds flavor complexity, while brown sugar is often cheaper.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: aquafaba

Flaxseed meal serves as a binding agent, while aquafaba is a low-cost egg alternative.

Blend the corn and bananas until smooth, adding coconut milk if necessary.

In a bowl, mix the blended corn and bananas with peanut butter, agave syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Fold in chia seeds for texture.

Spoon the mixture onto soaked corn husks, folding them to create packets.

Place the packets in a steamer basket, standing them upright.

Steam for 45-60 minutes, until the humitas are firm and set.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
