Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for cinnamon honey butter)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt (for cinnamon honey butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a small bowl, use an electric mixer or fork to whip together the softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and pinch of salt until fluffy.
  8. Slice the cornbread into squares and serve warm with a generous dollop of cinnamon honey butter.

Notes

[‘Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cornbread light and tender.’, ‘Room temperature milk and eggs ensure the batter blends smoothly.’, ‘Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cornbread is ready.’, ‘Customize the butter with vanilla extract or nutmeg for extra flavor.’, ‘Double the cinnamon honey butter for use on toast or pancakes later.’]
