📝 Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Cornbread
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium, baked or boiled)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
2 large eggs

For the Cinnamon Honey Butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan or a cast-iron skillet for a rustic look.

2. Make the Cornbread Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes, milk, honey, melted butter, and eggs until smooth. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring just until combined.

3. Bake the Cornbread
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden. Let cool slightly before slicing.

4. Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter
In a small bowl, beat softened butter with honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until creamy and well blended.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the warm cornbread and spread generously with cinnamon honey butter. Serve alongside chili, soups, or holiday meals—or enjoy as a sweet snack.
