Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or cast-iron skillet.
  • Prepare Sweet Potato:
    Peel and dice the sweet potato. Boil in a pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until well combined.
  • Combine and Bake:
    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan or skillet.
  • Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a handful of chopped pecans or shredded cheese to the batter before baking.
