Absolutely! You can swap out the canned yams for about 2 cups of cooked and mashed sweet potatoes. Just be sure to cook them until they’re soft and easy to mash. The end result will still be a delicious cornbread, promise!

How should I store the leftover cornbread?

To keep your cornbread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to store it for a longer period, wrap it tightly and refrigerate for up to a week.

Can I freeze this cornbread?

Absolutely! To freeze, let the cornbread cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it in an airtight container or a resealable plastic freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, just thaw it at room temperature and reheat it in the oven if desired.
