Honey Cornbread Recipe:
This sweet honey corn bread recipe is a fun twist on our traditional cornbread recipe and the kids practically fight over it at dinner time. This sweet honey cornbread is moist and tender and comes out perfectly with the golden brown crusty edges.
I love making cornbread during the fall time as it is the perfect side for all of my favorite crockpot and instant pot recipes! My favorite time is when it comes fresh out of the oven! I smother the top with melted butter and it just melts in your mouth.
The Best Sweet Cornbread:
I just love the smell of homemade Sweet Honey Cornbread! When my family smells the sweet aroma of the honey cornbread baking in the oven they come rushing to the table! Everyone has a bite before they even start on their soup!
This moist cornbread recipe is the best you will ever try! This is a great cornbread to serve to your family or if you are serving it to a crowd! Making this Honey Sweet Cornbread from scratch makes it a crowd pleaser!
Tips for making Sweet Honey Cornbread:
Here are some tips and different ways of making this Sweet Honey Cornbread:
- This recipe works great if you want to make cornbread muffins in a muffin tin. You can use the mini muffin pan or a regular size works great also! Making in the muffing pan, you will only bake for about 15 minutes.
- Another way I like the honey cornbread is in my cast iron pan. Cooking it in the cast iron gives it a more rustic quality.
- When mixing your cornbread, try to not over mix the batter. If it’s over mixed, the batter could come out tough.
- Don’t overcook your cornbread. Cook until your toothpick inserted comes out clean and the center is done.
- If you have any leftover cornbread, which is very rare in my big family, you can store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Ingredients:
- Flour
- Yellow Cornmeal
- Sugar
- Salt
- Baking powder or Baking soda
- Egg
- Milk
- Vegetable Oil
- Honey
How to make Honey Cornbread from scratch:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray a square baking pan (9×9) (I love these on sale) with non stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients.
- Then in a separate bowl whisk your egg, milk, oil, and honey. Stir well all ingredients.
Easy kitchen tip! Spray your measuring cup with nonstick spray before you try to measure out your honey. The honey will not stick to the measuring cup at all!
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes in your preheated oven.
- Allow to cool, and then cut. Serve with our Homemade butter recipe.

I Lov your Cornbread recipe !!!
My Family will Lov this Bread for Thanksgiving this year !!!
Delicious corn bread. It wasn’t too sweet and had a nice taste. Mine turned out a little crumbly and dry but I added honey on top to fork together and it worked great.
THIS is the cornbread recipe I’ve been searching for for what seems like forever! It’s sweet, has a soft crumb, and the muffins come out perfect when baked for 15min. Great recipe, can’t wait to make it again!
I’m so glad you love it
