How unkind of me.

Well, here’s a savory one to whet your appetite!

Clearly, I don’t discriminate when it comes to seasonality of sweet potatoes. Hey, I don’t buy berries, zucchini, or tomatoes during the winter, and I rarely buy apples or pears during the summer, so please allow me this one out-of-season food, alright?

Thanks :).

This tender cornbread consists of white whole wheat flour for fiber, sweet potato puree for moisture, low fat buttermilk for richness, and a bit of evaporated cane juice for a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb sweet potato, baked at 400°F until very soft, (about 1 hour), cooled, peeled, & mashed (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup stone ground yellow cornmeal
  • 1 1/2 tsp evaporated cane juice or granulated sugar

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted & cooled

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed sweet potato flesh, buttermilk, beaten egg, and melted butter.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
