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.
Pumpkin Cornbread Croutons
Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed pumpkin sage cornbread, cut into 1 inch squares
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a sheet pan with a silicone or parchment liner.
- Lay out cubed bread onto the baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter, kosher salt and pepper.
- Toss to make sure all the bread is evenly coated in butter and seasoning.
- Add to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until toasted and crunchy. Make sure to flip croutons in the middle of baking so you get a nice even toast.

I’m totally pinning these for Thanksgiving!! They look so good! Thanks for a great idea and recipe! 🙂
This is such a brilliant idea! Perfect for Fall salads… and snacking 😉
I honestly never buy croutons…
because I have zero willpower and crunch on the whole bag before they make it on a salad.
But, I love me some cornbread…and clearly I have a love for croutons…and then you added pumpkin.
MUST. EAT. Pinned!
You are so amazing!! I love this. I’m with Taylor, I eat them like candy, so I’m definitely homemaking my own now!
These are awesome and I can think of so many great ways to use them! I can totally see how addictive they must be 😉
I saw something similar at trader joes and was SO tempted to buy them, but I refuse to buy something I can make – only I never got around to making them | and now I see yours and they look SO good I have to make some soon
These look great! I love the combinations you’ve used.
I know you were totally like, “YES! I can get two posts out of this bread! YEEEES!” Or maybe that’s just me. 😉
But what a great second post you got out of it!
oh my gawd Brandy, you are brilliant!!! such a great idea. . but how can I keep myself from eating these right off the baking sheet?! they won’t even make it to the salad or stuffing. . might have to double or triple the pumpkin sage cornbread recipe. I’m making this one, yo.
Yeah I could eat these all in one sitting without even adding them to anything. Love this idea!
