- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create a cornbread that’s sure to impress:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, melted butter, and honey until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the cornbread dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cornbread is baking, prepare the honey butter glaze by whisking together the softened butter and honey until smooth.
- Once the cornbread is done, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the top with the honey butter glaze.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
