Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Pumpkin Cornbread warm with butter, honey, or your favorite fall-inspired spread!
