Sweet Pototo Cornbread

I love cornbread this time of year!  I searched and searched for a recipe that included everything I had in the house.  It was near impossible, so I made my own recipe.  Below is the final recipe I came up with.  Enjoy!!!

Prep Time: 20 min

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 3/4 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato
• 2 tablespoons of butter 
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons of honey (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a loaf tin with cooking spray.
• Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
• Peel sweet potato and chop into large pieces. Boil until tender. Drain and mash. Add melted butter, milk, and egg and stir to combine.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
• Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
• Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.

For this recipe, I used sweet potato that I oven baked and pureed in a blender.  It works that same as boiling and mashing the sweet potato.
