This Easy Pumpkin Cornbread recipe combines the rich flavors of pumpkin and cornmeal to create a delicious and moist bread that is perfect for fall. With a hint of sweetness and a subtle pumpkin spice flavor, this cornbread is a delightful addition to any meal. Serve it warm with butter or honey for a comforting treat. It's incredibly easy to make and requires simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  8. Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
