A delightful cornbread combining the sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich flavors of honey and butter, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 large sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, honey, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the buttermilk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

- Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter and check for doneness earlier than the suggested time.
