Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 stick salted butter melted
- 3 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even bake for your pumpkin spice cornbread. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet, which helps achieve a crispy, golden brown crust.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cardamom, and pumpkin pie spice. These autumn spices add that rich, seasonal flavor that makes this cornbread stand out.
- In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin purée, melted butter, pure maple syrup, and milk until smooth. This combination ensures a moist, flavorful cornbread, perfect for any fall gathering or holiday dinner.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be gentle to avoid overmixing, as this can make the cornbread dense. The pumpkin purée and maple syrup provide a sweet richness, while the cornmeal gives the bread a traditional texture.
- Pour the batter into the greased cast iron skillet and spread it evenly. Baking in the cast iron skillet enhances the flavor and creates the perfect texture for your pumpkin cornbread.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures your cornbread is fully cooked and has a tender, delicious interior.
- Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for a few minutes, then slice it into wedges. Serve warm with softened butter or a drizzle of honey. This sweet pumpkin spice cornbread is a great addition to any fall meal or as a side dish for Thanksgiving.
