Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined without overmixing.
- Pour Batter: Grease a baking dish (such as an 8×8 inch pan) and pour the batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cornbread for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half the milk with buttermilk.
- You can add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice for extra warmth.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cornbread light and tender.
- This recipe yields a moist cornbread perfect for serving alongside soups or chili.
