Moist cornbread with honey, pumpkin puree, and cozy spices for a warm, fall-inspired twist.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup yellow cornmeal
02 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
06 - ¼ cup brown sugar

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - ¾ cup pumpkin purée
09 - ½ cup whole milk
10 - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
11 - ¼ cup honey
12 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until evenly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until smooth. Add pumpkin purée, whole milk, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract; mix until homogenous.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry, gently fold until just combined without overmixing to maintain tenderness.
05 - Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
06 - Let cool slightly before slicing. Optionally, drizzle additional honey on top before serving for enhanced sweetness.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cornbread moist and tender. Toasting cornmeal lightly enhances its natural flavor.
