Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cornbread:

    • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
    • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup melted butter
    • 1 cup buttermilk

    For the Honey Butter:

    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1/2 cup softened butter

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter by combining softened butter and honey in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Once the cornbread is done, allow it to cool slightly before serving with the honey butter spread.

Notes

  • This cornbread is best served warm with a generous spread of honey butter.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra fall-inspired flavor.
