There’s just about nothing I love more on a brisk evening than a big bowl of spicy chili, and nothing better alongside it than this pumpkin cornbread! Whether you need a scrumptious side dish for soups, stews and chili, or just a creative way to use that leftover puree, THIS is it my friends!
Fluffy, scrumptious and slightly sweet, this cornbread calls to be paired with your favorite cozy fall comfort foods. It’s easy to whip up – all you need is one bowl, basic ingredients, and a bit of patience while it bakes!
Spread it with a bit of butter, drizzle over a little honey or enjoy this easy, delish cornbread as is. You can also grate a little cheddar or Parmesan into the batter before baking, or toss in some chopped herbs.
