A sweet, maple twist on a classic favorite, this homemade Maple Cornbread recipe is made from scratch and takes traditional cornbread to a whole new delicious level.
Maple Cornbread
When I think about the flavors of Fall, I think of cinnamon and apples and pumpkin and maple. And since I shared a delicious sweet apple cornbread recipe last year, it was a no-brainer to try a maple cornbread recipe this year. Now I don’t even normally care for cornbread, but these sweet versions that are almost like cake… Mmmmm…..
Now, in my own personal humble opinion, Maple Cornbread is not just a great cornbread recipe, it’s the best cornbread recipe. It takes the sweet-salty cornbread classic to a whole new level.
This maple cornbread recipe is made totally from scratch, not from a box. But don’t worry. It’s not hard at all. Super easy, and just about a half hour to make, start to finish.
Maple Cornbread Recipe
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter divided
- 2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup maple syrup divided

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

Add 1/2 cup melted butter, milk, egg, and 1/2 cup maple syrup to the well in the dry ingredients.

Gently whisk just until combined.
