Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, Greek yogurt, and oil to a large bowl and whisk with a fork or wire whisk until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and sea salt and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula just until no streaks of flour remain (do not overmix!).
  • Add the batter to the prepared muffin tin, dividing the batter as evenly as possible between the cups.
  • Bake the muffins for 22-25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool until they're an appropriate temperature for serving. Enjoy them while they're warm alongside your favourite soup, stew or chili!

Notes

Feel free to substitute up to 1/2 cup of the cornmeal with the same amount of cream of wheat, if desired. This will give the muffins a smoother, less cornbread-like texture if that's what you're after.
