Sweet Potato Cornbread - A Great Bread for Almost Any Meal!

Sweet Potato Cornbread

1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup baked and mashed sweet potato
2 eggs
1/2 stick (4 Tablespoons) melted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk

Begin by baking your sweet potato. Scrub the potato well to make sure it’s clean, wrap it in foil, and bake in a 350° preheated oven for one hour. At the end of one hour, reduce the temperature to 170° and continue baking the potato for another 6 to 8 hours. 

Remove the sweet potato from the oven, remove the potato peeling, and using a fork, mash the potato well. Measure out one cup of mashed sweet potato. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 375°. 

Using a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Set aside.

The mixing may be done by hand or using an electric mixer. Blend together well the mashed sweet potato, eggs, melted butter, sour cream, and light brown sugar.  Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk, alternating between the two until it is all added and mixed in.

Pour the cornbread mixture into a well greased 9 X 9-inch baking dish.  Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center tests done with a toothpick. Serve warm with plenty of softened butter.

I had one explode in the microwave. Never in the oven. I’m definitely going to try this. I like different cornbreads and sweet. ❤🇨🇦🇨🇦

Oh that looked and sounds so good. I love the way you baked those sweet potatoes, learned that after we moved to Texas in 1996. Just eat mine plain and dry right out of the oven and they are the best. Going to have a try with the cornbread to make the sweet potato cornbread and see how it works for us. Thanks everyone who shared the recipe. Fred.

I have heard of sweet potatoes corn bread. And I love sweet potatoes cooked any way I can’t wait to try this recipe Thank you for sharing I love your videos I hope you and family have a blessed Christmas 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I got so excited because I love pretty much anything cornmeal/cornbread, but I'm not so much a fan of sweet potatoes. I was thinking this was going to be a sweet potato dish I'd love because of the cornmeal, but then you said it doesn't really taste like cornmeal. Oh well. I'd still give it a try, though. I had pumpkin cornbread at a restaurant in North Carolina once, and that stuff was amazing. Still loving this series. Can't wait for more!

[heidispeasmaker]

I am a new subscriber. Really enjoying your "countdown to Christmas" series. You are definitely ambitious! I have found that you highlight some recipes that I have never run across anywhere else. Can't wait to try some of them! Thank you for your dedication to your channel!

Wow! I love cornbread and I love sweet potatoes but I've never had sweet potato cornbread. I will definitely make this. My mouth is watering and I could make a meal with just this cornbread. Yummy!

[agatarosicki]

Hi Tom and Melissa,
I know I'm late to the party watching this video, but I'm so glad I came back and watched it. The potato baking hack is a huge learning point for me. Also, the content regarding substitutions is also quite helpful. I plan to make this for our Christmas celebration, which happens January 4th. (Kids and grandkids are spending the 25th with their in-laws. It's all good. We roll with the schedule changes as necessary) I really enjoy watching real people cook in real kitchens as it helps me believe that I can do this too. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas. My prayer is that God continues to bless you.
