Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup medium yellow or white cornmeal*
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp molasses
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Set the oven to 375F. Grease your 9x5 loaf pan and line with a sling of parchment paper if you want to lift the bread out for easy slicing.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and spice in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, sugar, oil, molasses and milk in a larger bowl until well combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, just until combined and there is no dry flour left. Fold in the cranberries.
- Turn into your prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Notes
- *What type of cornmeal to use:
- You have lots of leeway here; any type of cornmeal will work for cornbread, just keep in mind the way your choice will affect the final product.
- Additionally, cornmeal can be white or yellow:
- Fine Cornmeal: Creates a soft, cake-like cornbread with a smooth texture.
- Medium Cornmeal: Results in moist, flavorful cornbread with a slightly grainy texture, striking a balance between tenderness and heartiness.
- Coarse Cornmeal (Polenta or Stone-Ground Cornmeal): Produces rustic, hearty cornbread with a pronounced corn flavor and a satisfying crunch.
- White Cornmeal: Usually milder in flavor, producing a delicate, lighter-colored cornbread.
- Yellow Cornmeal: Produces the classic ‘corny’ flavor and a deeper, golden yellow cornbread.
