This Golden Sweet Cornbread is soft, tender, and just the right amount of sweet. Baked to a beautiful golden color, it’s a comforting Southern-style classic that pairs perfectly with savory dishes or stands on its own as a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

  • 3 tbsp honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line with parchment.

  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  • Add wet ingredients: Stir in milk, eggs, oil, and honey (if using) until just combined. Do not overmix.

  • Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

 

  • Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or honey, if desired.

Notes

  • For muffins, divide batter into a greased muffin tin and bake for 15–18 minutes.

  • Add corn kernels, shredded cheddar, or jalapeños for a fun twist.

  • Best enjoyed warm but keeps well for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
