Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan. This will help you achieve a lovely golden crust on your cornbread.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it will make your cornbread dense.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter and enjoy a slice of fall in every bite!
Notes
This cornbread can be enjoyed as a side dish or a delightful snack with your favorite spread. Perfect for those chilly autumn evenings!
