🍰 Maple Honey Butter Sweet Potato Cornbread 🍯

A Sweet Twist on a Classic Comfort Food! Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup honey (for the maple honey butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for the maple honey butter)
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup softened butter (for maple honey butter)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Take a large bowl and whisk together the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, honey, and maple syrup. Mix until everything is well blended and smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just enough to combine. Avoid overmixing to keep the cornbread light and fluffy.
5. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Slide into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cornbread bakes, prepare the maple honey butter. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened butter with the additional honey and maple syrup until creamy and uniform.
7. Once the cornbread is done, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve each piece with a generous spread of the maple honey butter.
