Description

A comforting and slightly fancy honey glazed corn casserole perfect for fall gatherings, featuring a sweet, buttery glaze and tender corn with a golden crust.

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups fresh or frozen (thawed) sweet corn kernels
1/3 cup raw honey
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup whole milk or cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted (or almond flour for gluten-free)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Optional: diced roasted sweet potatoes or chopped pecans for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg. Whisk together.
In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs until lightly frothy. Add 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup honey, 1/2 cup whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in 3 cups corn kernels gently, ensuring even distribution without crushing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Optionally sprinkle additional corn kernels or chopped pecans on top.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to set and meld flavors.
If the honey glaze browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense casserole. Fresh corn adds extra sweetness but frozen works well if thawed and drained. Brush extra honey mixed with melted butter on top after baking for a shiny glaze. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
