1-Ready to bake: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal. This step sets the stage for a smooth process that fits into your day, whether you’re a working professional or a baking enthusiast.

2-Next, brown the butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat until it foams and the solids turn golden brown, then transfer it immediately to a heat-safe bowl to stop the cooking. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt to evenly distribute the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add the browned butter, pumpkin purée, and honey, whisking briefly to combine.

3-Now, add the eggs and whisk them in with the wet ingredients, then stir everything gently until just mixed, taking care not to overmix for a light, fluffy result. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing, and serve warm for the best taste perhaps topped with melted butter for extra appeal.
