Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes, honey, melted butter, milk, and eggs until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared dish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture.
- For a savory twist, reduce the sugar and add shredded cheese or pepper.
- Can be made dairy-free with plant-based butter and non-dairy milk.
- Great served with chili, roasted meats, or a drizzle of honey.
