Sounds wonderful. I’ve got everything on hand but the patience :-)
I have such a soft spot for baking with cornmeal and honey together, this is a wonderful recipe! Love it!
This looks so good! My sister was looking for a good cornbread recipe, so I just sent the link to her. :)
I’ve been adding pumpkin to so many things for fall but I would have never thought of cornbread. Great idea! Gorgeous and looks really yummy!
Oh Georgia…I’ve never thought to add pumpkin to my cornbread before but I bet this is fabulous! I LOVE having cornbread with chili and soups in the fall. But that pumpkin must give it such a sweet and savory kick. Oh..and that drizzle of honey…mmmmm! Beautiful pictures! : )
We’ve been slightly obsessed with cornbread over at our house lately so this is going into the recipe rotation soon. Thanks!
Pumpkin and honey together in cornbread is absolutely brilliant!

We tried this for dinner tonight. I subbed sour cream for buttermilk, that’s all we had :) and it was very good!
Great recipe!
Oh My Goodness! I made this recipe last night and its down to basically one piece left, which I will probably go eat after I finishing typing this…
It is a brilliant flavor combination! Kudos!
Soooo good! I substituted the buttermilk for plain kefir. Thank you for the recipe. The family loved it!

Just regular all-purpose.
Wonderful, a must try! Thanks for sharing.
Totally used this today with my pumpkin puree I had left! So delicious! Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! This has become a family favorite! My go-to side for chili & my kids love it when I substitute their sandwich in their lunch with this! :)
This was fantastic! I cooked it in a 10″ cast iron skillet. It was my favorite part of our Thanksgiving dinner!!!
