Description

Homemade Sweet Potato Cornbread is a delightful twist on a classic, bringing together the hearty texture of cornbread with the natural sweetness and moistness of sweet potatoes. The golden top and soft, fluffy interior make each square irresistible. Perfectly baked to a warm golden-brown, this cornbread pairs beautifully with any meal or can be enjoyed on its own as a cozy treat.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked)
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Serve: Let the cornbread cool slightly in the pan before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Extra Moisture: For even moister cornbread, add an additional 1/4 cup of milk.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweet potato.
