    Published by Rodney on August 28, 2020 - Jump to Recipe - 1 Comment

    Not only is this Pumpkin Cornbread Recipe super easy to make, it has a nice pumpkin flavor to it. Great for those cold fall days.

    We all know that you can get a box of cornbread mix at your local grocery store for about $1. It certainly has its place especially when you are in a hurry and don't have the time or desire to work with a bunch of ingredients.

    That being said, you will get exactly that. Cornbread that will taste like it came out of a box. If you are looking for something a little more "gourmet", I suggest you give this pumpkin cornbread recipe a try.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    I often get asked what a good substitute for molasses would be. Not sure if it's because they don't have any on hand or simply don't like the flavor.

    You have a few options as far as substitutes go: dark corn syrup, maple syrup, honey or even some dark brown sugar with a little water added to it.

    Remember that substituting for one of these ingredients will alter the overall flavor of this recipe.
