Paula Dean's Corn Casserole just got Veganized!

Josh's cousin Valerie brings this corn casserole to almost every Williamson family gathering, and its amazing. The original recipe is from Paula Dean, so I knew it probably wasn't the healthiest thing around. But I wanted to indulge in this flavor more than just on holidays and family get togethers, and I wanted it to be a lighter vegan version. It took a couple tries, but I think I've got it. This is a VERY kid friendly recipe, too. The pic shows how popular it was with the family! That last piece ended up being eaten too, so don't count on leftovers! ;)

2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup whole grain organic corn meal
1 can organic cream corn
1 can organic whole kernel corn or 1 cup organic frozen kernel corn
1 cup Toffuti sour cream or your favorite vegan sour cream substitute
1/2 cup Earth Balance spread, softened
1 - 2 Tbsp. organic cane sugar
1 Tbsp. aluminum free baking powder
1/2 tsp. Salt

Stir all ingredients in medium bowl until well mixed. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes in a 7x11 inch or 8x8 inch baking dish.  I spray the dish with grapeseed oil first(available at Walmart).
