Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sweet potato puree
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk (or buttermilk)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Peeled, cubed, and boiled sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Mash or blend into a smooth puree and let cool.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix sweet potato puree with eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey.

Notes

  • This cornbread pairs well with soups and stews.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
