Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, honey, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk until well mixed.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding them together. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the cornbread batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon honey butter by combining softened butter, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
  8. Let the cornbread cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm topped with cinnamon honey butter.
