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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair wonderfully with butter or a drizzle of honey.
