Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 0.5 cup Milk (whole, 2%, or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and thoroughly blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer with the spatula.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely if desired.
Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with honey butter or a drizzle of maple syrup.
