Description
A delightful pumpkin cornbread topped with rich cinnamon honey butter, perfect for fall meals and cozy snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for butter)
- 3 tablespoons honey (for butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for butter)
- Pinch sea salt (optional, for butter)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just mixed; be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While your cornbread is baking, whip the softened butter with honey, ground cinnamon, and optional pinch of sea salt until light and fluffy.
- Once the cornbread is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before slicing. Serve warm with a generous dollop of your cinnamon honey butter.
