Easy Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

When I think of Fall, I think of soups, stews, and chilis. Then my thoughts move from the main dish to the side dishes that go with those delicious filling meals. I love no-knead crusty bread and of course, cornbread! Pumpkin cornbread is a must-make this fall, and I can’t wait for you to try it. It’s made with whole grains, sweetened withhoney, andeasilymade dairy-free if that’s your jam. I love this recipe! The color is beautiful, the muffins are tender but filling, and it’s just perfect with more honey or some honey butter on top. Next time you are making a pot of chili or headed to the church soup contest, make these to go along with your main dish.

Cassie from Wholefullyand I are excited to bring you pumpkin week! It’s seven days of glorious pumpkin recipes on both of our sites and it will end with a round up of all the pumpkin recipes we have combined. And do you know what is a perfect accident? Cassie posted a mouth-watering recipe for Chicken Pumpkin Quinoa Chowder which would be the perfect main dish for these pumpkin cornbread muffins. I think it’s fate. Dinner plans are figured out for tonight! If you see something you like, share it with your friends and pin it. We all know there’s no such thing as too much pumpkin.

Tips for Making Fluffy Muffins

Here’s a little tip when it comes to buying whole wheat flour: I like to buy white whole wheat flour. This means they milled the flour from soft white wheat berries. Traditional whole wheat flour is made from hard red wheat berries. Flour made from the soft white wheat berries is more tender and tastes less “wheaty.” It’s a great option for baked goods. You can also use whole wheat pastry flour, which is made from the white wheat berries and is also ground more finely than traditional wheat flour. Both are pretty easy to find and I feel like they make a big difference when it comes to makingcookies,muffins, or cakes with whole wheat flour. Now you know.

Should I Refrigerate My Muffins?

Muffins are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container. This will help keep your muffins moist.

Do Muffins Freeze Well?

Yes! I like to make a double batch and save some for later. Easy breakfast or after school snack.
