Ingredients

Scale

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 🧂
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌰
  • 2 large eggs 🥚
  • 1/2 cup melted butter 🧈
  • 1 cup buttermilk 🥛

For the Cinnamon Honey Butter

  • 1/4 cup honey 🍯
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌰
  • 1/2 cup softened butter 🧈

Tools You’ll Need

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish (9×9-inch or similar size)
  • Whisk and spatula
  • Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside. 🥄🌰

Step 3: Blend the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and honey until smooth. 🍠🥛🍯

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread light and tender. 🍞

Step 5: Bake the Cornbread

Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool slightly in the pan.

Step 6: Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter

While the cornbread bakes, make the cinnamon honey butter. In a small bowl, mix the honey, ground cinnamon, and softened butter until smooth and well combined. 🍯🌰🧈

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm slices of cornbread with a generous dollop of cinnamon honey butter on top. Watch as it melts into the cornbread, making every bite a delicious experience! 🍽️
