You know how some cornbread is dry and crumbly? And others lean so sweet they basically taste like cake? Well, this sweet potato cornbread lands happily right in the middle. Moist and tender thanks to a full cup of mashed sweet potato, lightly sweetened with brown sugar, and made in one bowl with just the right amount of cozy cornmeal texture in every bite. It’s the kind of easy side dish that absolutely begs to be served next to a steaming bowl of chili or your favorite comfort soup.
