Pumpkin Cornbread
This Pumpkin Cornbread is tender and tastes outstanding. Make this instead of plain cornbread and see for yourself. It's amazing with melted butter or honey!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- ½ cup whole Greek yogurt
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease a deep dish 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large bowl, add pumpkin, yogurt, brown sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk to combine well, until smooth and no clumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, add flour, cornmeal, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk to combine well.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture just until batter is combined and smooth. Don't over-mix.
- Transfer mixture into prepared deep-dish pie pan. Bake about 27 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean - a few tender crumbs attached are fine.
- Cool 30 minutes before cutting. Serve with melted butter or honey, if desired.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to keep the flavor balanced and the sweetness just right.
- Don’t over-mix the batter once dry ingredients are added; mix just until no streaks remain.
- Bake in a deep 9-inch pie dish or similar-sized round pan for a rustic, sliceable cornbread.
- Let it cool for 30 minutes before slicing so the crumb sets up properly and slices cleanly.

- Serve warm with butter, honey, or a drizzle of maple syrup for the coziest fall side. It's also great with some Crockpot Chili!
