Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
Maple Honey Butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup softened butter
Optional substitutions:
- Use whole-wheat flour for added fiber.
- Replace buttermilk with dairy-free alternatives like almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well-blended.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, honey, and maple syrup until smooth.
Step 4: Combine and Pour
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread fluffy. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready to enjoy!
Step 6: Prepare Maple Honey Butter
In a small bowl, mix the honey, maple syrup, and softened butter until smooth and creamy.

- For Extra Moisture: Consider adding a bit more sweet potato puree if you prefer a moister bread.
- Sweet Potato Preparation: Roasting the sweet potatoes rather than boiling can add a deeper flavor.
- For a Crispier Crust: Use a cast-iron skillet, preheated before pouring in the batter, for a beautifully golden, crispy crust.
