Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow a cast iron skillet to heat up if you're using one.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well mixed.
  • Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together the mashed sweet potato, brown sugar, eggs, and buttermilk until everything is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the melted butter and honey to the sweet potato mixture. Stir until completely incorporated.
  • Fold in the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently.
  • Grease your baking dish or preheated skillet with butter to prevent sticking.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared dish, smoothing the top for even baking.
  • Bake in the oven for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Brush the warm cornbread generously with melted honey butter right after removing it from the oven.

Notes

Serve with extra honey or a dollop of butter for a delightful finish.
