Pumpkin Cornbread - sweet, savory and a delicious twist to regular cornbread. No matter how you slice it, it’s always devoured within minutes!
If you couldn’t tell, I love pumpkin! This year especially, I challenged myself to try to squeeze in as many pumpkin recipes as I could think of, one of them being this sweet, savory and delicious Pumpkin Cornbread.
For this recipe I included seasonal ingredients like pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. I used a cornbread box mix for the base of this cornbread. And by no means am I stating that cornbread recipes are better made from a box mix. Homemade all the way! However, around the holidays most people are rushing, stressed and wanting to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with family. This Pumpkin Cornbread recipe is the ultimate side dish that will be on the table in minutes, and they’ll never know it’s not exactly all homemade.
The cornbread itself isn’t overly sweet, so it pairs well with fall soups, chili and would also be a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving dinner along with Baked Mac and Cheese as side dishes. But of course you know I’m extra and I love sweets, so I topped it off with a drizzle of honey butter and, well, you can thank me later.
