• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp dried thyme or oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease an 8-inch baking pan.
Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the sliced onions until soft and lightly golden. Then, set them aside to cool.

Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, mix the plant-based milk and vinegar. After that, let it sit for one minute so it curdles slightly.

Now, add oil to the milk mixture and stir well. Gradually, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. However, mix gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Then, fold in the cooked onions, herbs, and black pepper.

Once combined, pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Finally, bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.
