In this post, I’m going to share my friend’s recipe for pumpkin cornbread with spiced honey butter! If you’re not a pumpkin fan, no worries, you can replace the pumpkin puree with mashed sweet potatoes, and it will still come out delicious!

Pumpkin Cornbread With Spiced Honey Butter Tips And Tricks

Make sure that you preheat the oven before anything else. That way, once everything is prepared, you can simply place the cornbread in the oven without waiting for it to heat up.

Know your oven! It’s important to know whether your oven runs cold or hot when baking. This will prevent you from burning your food, and it will also help you from undercooking it.
