Honey Butter Cornbread is a rich and flavorful twist on a classic comfort food, featuring a perfect balance of sweetness from honey and richness from butter, all in a soft, moist texture.

Ingredients

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup honey

Extra honey and butter for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly blended.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing—the batter should be a bit lumpy.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to allow the texture to set.
  7. Cut into squares or wedges. Drizzle with extra honey and a pat of butter before serving.

Notes

For a spicy version, add chopped jalapeños for a jalapeño honey butter cornbread.

For a savory twist, fold in shredded cheddar cheese.

To make a vegan version, replace the buttermilk with almond or oat milk, use vegan butter, and flax eggs as an egg substitute.

Add a cinnamon swirl on top of the batter before baking for a sweet, spiced flavor.
