Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Roast or boil your sweet potato until fork-tender, then mash it until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, melted butter, honey, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix It Up: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter, honey, or even a drizzle of maple syrup!
