Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pure pumpkin purée
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with butter or a drizzle of honey.
