Sweet, soft, and fluffy homemade Pumpkin Cornbread. This delicious seasonal twist on cornbread is delicious served alongside soup, chili and stew or added to your holiday meal.
I love a twist on a classic (like Maple Pumpkin Bread) and this Pumpkin Cornbread is exactly that. It’s like a mashup between pumpkin bread and traditional cornbread. You’ll come back to this recipe again and again.
This cornbread is
Easy: This recipe is super easy. No fancy equipment or techniques.
Soft and fluffy: Milk, pumpkin puree, and a bit of oil ensure that this cornbread has the perfect texture.
Sweet: If you’re a fan of sweet cornbread you will love this recipe! A combination of sugar and honey add just the right amount of sweetness.
Spiced: Cinnamon and pumpkin spice paired with pumpkin give this cornbread a unique flavor.
What type of pumpkin to use
This recipe calls for canned pumpkin puree. I find Libby’s brand to be the most consistent so I typically recommend that. Be sure to buy pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling is already sweetened and spiced (for making a pie) and pumpkin puree is just cooked pureed pumpkin.
If you’re using homemade pumpkin puree make sure it is not too watery. It should be similar consistency to the canned variety.
