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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Serve warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
