These super simple cornbread croutons are made from homemade pumpkin sage cornbread and are ready in just minutes! Perfect for soup, salad, or stuffing.
On Monday, I posted my homemade pumpkin sage cornbread and promised to show you another use for it.
Well, here it is! These homemade pumpkin cornbread croutons are crunchy, full of flavor, and perfect for Friday’s recipe—stuffing!
I have made croutons before, and I usually snack on them like potato chips. I cannot get enough of their crunchy deliciousness.
If you’re like me, you might find yourself in snack heaven after making these. But if you’re talented at self-control, you can save them and make stuffing or put them on soup or a salad.
Nevermind. Just eat this batch and start over for stuffing.
Use these croutons for homemade pumpkin cornbread chicken sausage stuffing.

That does it! I have to make the corn bread for sure now! The flavor these would add to any salad is perfect!
I am in heaven when I have a salad with good croutons. And good croutons do not seem to come into my life often. Your photo definitely convinced me that these were winners. I am enchanted with the idea that you they are cornbread. Wow!
This looks absolutely perfect. Fall salads, here I come!!
I have no self control. I’d just tip the pan into my mouth and crunch on till these croutons are all gone.
I would eat these like potato chips. I bet they are equally addictive!
You are a genius. I cannot even get over how cool this is.
I love this! They would be the perfect addition to any Thanksgiving salad!
Those would be perfect on top of some Tomato soup or Pumpkin soup!! yum!!
Seriously amazing croutons. I don’t think I’ve ever said those words together, ever. I will now be making a fall inspired panzanella appear in my kitchen this weekend….loaded with these croutons. Thanks!
I would definitely spend more time snacking on these than cooking with them!
