🍠 Cinnamon Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread

Ingredients

For the Cornbread:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup yellow cornmeal

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

• ¾ cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato, roasted or boiled)

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)

• ⅓ cup honey

• ⅓ cup melted butter (unsalted)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Honey Butter Swirl:

• ¼ cup softened butter

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cornbread Batter:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
   In a separate bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, eggs, buttermilk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined — don’t overmix.

3. Make the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
   In a small bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.

4. Assemble:
   Pour half of the cornbread batter into the prepared pan.
   Dot or drizzle half of the cinnamon honey butter over the batter, then swirl gently with a knife.
   Add the remaining batter, then top with the remaining cinnamon honey butter and swirl again.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden and slightly caramelized.

6. Cool & Serve:
   Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra honey butter on the side if desired.

📝 Tips

• To make it more dessert-like, sprinkle with a little brown sugar before baking.

• Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.

• Use canned sweet potato puree if you’re short on time.
