Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread – Moist, tender, and slightly sweet with a golden crust. Topped with whipped honey butter, it’s the perfect side for chili, BBQ, or holidays!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup melted butter

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar pan.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

    • Cornmeal

    • Flour

    • Baking powder

    • Salt

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, combine:

    • Mashed sweet potatoes

    • Eggs

    • Melted butter

    • Honey

    • Buttermilk

Step 4: Create the Batter

  • Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.

  • Mix until just combined—don’t overmix or the cornbread will be dense.

Step 5: Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Make the Honey Butter

  • In a small bowl, blend the softened butter and honey until smooth and fluffy.

Step 7: Serve

  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing.

  • Serve warm with a generous dollop of honey butter.

Notes

  • For extra presentation, top the cornbread with honey butter while it’s still warm so it melts beautifully.

  • This is an ideal dish to bring to potlucks, family dinners, or holiday tables.

  • Want to make muffins? Simply pour into a greased muffin tin and bake for 18–20 minutes at the same temperature.
