This Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread is a delightful twist on traditional cornbread, with the added sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes and a luscious honey butter topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cornbread:

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⁄4 cup honey

For the Honey Butter:

  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1⁄4 cup honey
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: If you haven’t done so, cook the sweet potato until tender. Mash it until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until well combined.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Bake the Cornbread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or skillet and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the Honey Butter: While the cornbread is baking, beat together the softened butter, honey, and salt (if using) in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, topped with honey butter.
  9. Enjoy: Your Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread is ready to be enjoyed!
