Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
