Indulge in the comforting, golden goodness of Sweet Corn Bread, a timeless classic that perfectly balances rich, buttery flavors with a subtle touch of sweetness. Made with a simple combination of pantry staples like all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and a drizzle of honey, this easy-to-make recipe comes together in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts. The tender yet slightly crumbly texture pairs beautifully with hearty chili, BBQ, or a pat of melted butter. Whether enjoyed warm out of the oven or stored for later, this irresistibly moist cornbread will become your go-to for a quick and satisfying homemade side dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, honey, and eggs until fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
