Here's what you'll need:
-
1-1/4 Cup of all purpose flour
-
3/4 cup cornmeal
-
2 tsp. baking powder
-
1/8 tsp. salt
-
1/3 Cup melted unsalted butter
-
3 Tbsp. of maple syrup
-
1 egg, lightly whisked
-
2/3 Cup cooked + mashed butternut squash
-
3/4 Cup buttermilk
​
Here's how to make it:
Line the slow cooker with aluminum foil (we used a 5 quart slow cooker for this recipe). Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
​
Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter with honey. Beat in egg until incorporated. Whisk in butternut squash and then the buttermilk.
​
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix - it is okay to see a small amount of flour)
​
Pour batter into the lined slow cooker and smooth down with an offset spatula. Place lid on top.
​
Cook on low for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or on high for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until edges are gold brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. (The time may be slightly different depending on your slow cooker).
​
Once cooked, remove entire foil with cornbread from the slow cooker and let cool for 15 minutes. Cut and serve with a bit of honey on top, if desired.
