Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch square baking dish or a similar-sized pan with parchment paper.

Prepare the Cornbread Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the mashed sweet potato, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the Cornbread:

• Pour the cornbread batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
• Let the cornbread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Prepare the Cinnamon Honey Butter:

• In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt (if using) until smooth and fluffy.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

Serve:

• Slice the warm cornbread and spread a generous amount of cinnamon honey butter on top before serving.
• Serve the cornbread with your favorite meal, or as a delicious treat on its own!
