Ingredients
Scale
Cornbread:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the cornbread.
- Prepare the cornbread batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, honey, milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just blended to avoid overmixing.
- Bake the cornbread: Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Make cinnamon honey butter: In a small bowl, blend softened butter with honey and cinnamon until well combined and creamy.
- Serve warm: Let the cornbread cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve with a generous spread of cinnamon honey butter on top.
Notes
- Use freshly canned pumpkin puree for best flavor, not pumpkin pie filling.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Store leftover cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Reheat cornbread slices in the microwave or oven before serving for a fresh-baked taste.
