Ingredients

Scale
    • For the Cornbread:
    • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (roasted or steamed)
    • 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

Β 

  • For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, honey, eggs, melted butter, and buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender crumb.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly crisp.
  6. Prepare honey butter: While baking, whip together softened butter, honey, and cinnamon until smooth and fluffy.
  7. Serve: Spread the cinnamon honey butter over warm cornbread and enjoy!
