Ingredients
Scale
1 medium sweet potato, baked and mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potato. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pierce the skin with a fork, place it on a baking tray, and bake for about 45 minutes until tender. Allow to cool and mash in a bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and beaten eggs until smooth. If using flax eggs, combine ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
Step 4: Bring it All Together. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the mashed sweet potato, avoiding overmixing.
Step 5: Bake. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a skillet or baking dish, pour in the batter, smooth the top, and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve. Allow the cornbread to cool for about 15 minutes, then cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.
