Ingredients
- 1 cup (141g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (170g) yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, melted butter, milk, honey, and eggs until smooth and combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. It is okay for the batter to be slightly lumpy.
- Transfer the cornbread batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean with just a few crumbs on it. Slice into squares and serve warm with butter and honey.

Notes
- Pumpkin Spice Substitute: If you don't have a jar of pumpkin spice in your pantry, that's okay! Simply increase the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon and add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg with a pinch of allspice and ground ginger to round things out.
- Buttermilk: If desired, you can absolutely replace the regular milk with buttermilk in this recipe. Everything else stays the same.
- Storage: Let the cornbread cool completely, then transfer the cornbread squares to an airtight container or wrap the pan of cornbread tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freezing instructions: Wrap the cornbread in plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will stay fresh for about 2-3 months in the freezer.
- Reheating: To reheat, thaw it at room temperature for a few hours. Then, cover the cornbread with foil and warm it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual pieces for 20-30 seconds.
