Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins combine whole wheat pastry flour and cornmeal with pumpkin puree and warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Flaxseed mixed with water acts as a binder, replacing eggs. The mixture yields moist, golden muffins with a slightly sweet and spiced flavor, excellent as a side or snack in cooler seasons. This recipe offers a wholesome take on traditional cornbread with the added moisture and subtle earthiness of pumpkin.
