Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Yellow cornmeal
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 0.5 cup Milk (whole, 2%, or non-dairy)
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth and thoroughly blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer with the spatula.

Step 6

Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely if desired.

Step 8

Slice into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with honey butter or a drizzle of maple syrup.
