Ingredients
  

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)

1 cup cornmeal

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/2 cup chopped scallions (optional, for added flavor)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a mix, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square or round baking pan.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly to combine the dry ingredients.

      In another bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are fine.

          Gently fold in the sweet corn kernels, chopped scallions (if using), and shredded cheese (if desired).

            Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.

                Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm, either plain or with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
