Let’s just start out by stating the facts, this is the ultimate fall cornbread! I’ve long had my favorite cornbread and I never thought I’d ever try one I liked as much, but this one is definitely an equal! I sort of based this cornbread off of that one, but instead found a way to incorporate plenty of pumpkin and a bit of fall spices into it. This cornbread is so soft and moist, I hate dry cornbread so of course I made this to be completely the opposite. [post_ads]I love that this has plenty of pumpkin flavor – you don’t have to guess what flavor of cornbread it is, and the whipped cinnamon honey butter just takes it over the top! This would most definitely be worthy of making it to your holiday menu, but be sure to try it before the holidays because you just can’t wait that long to try this Pumpkin Cornbread! I absolutely loved it, as did everyone else who tried it both young and old alike – from a 3 year old up to an 81 year old and everyone in between.
