A delightful cornbread that combines sweet potatoes and honey, perfect for family gatherings and barbecues.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fine cornmeal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1 cup milk (buttermilk preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and mashed sweet potatoes. Stir until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

Serve warm, optionally with extra honey butter on top. Pairs well with chili and grilled meats.
