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

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.

If I could keep myself from eating them all plain, these would be perfect for fall salads!
