Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, and milk until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and no large lumps remain.
  2. Pour into Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  3. Bake Until Set: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • For added flavor, consider stirring in spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves into the batter.
  • This cornbread pairs beautifully with chili or can be enjoyed on its own with butter.
