Pumpkin Cornbread and Cornbread Muffins

If you like cornbread, this Pumpkin Cornbread and Cornbread Muffins recipe is great for the fall season! You can either make an 8 x 8″ pan of cornbread or 12 nicely rounded-top cornbread muffins. Both taste great warm out of the oven, spread with some butter and drizzled with some honey!

The batter has some pumpkin puree, of course, to give it nice pumpkin flavor. I also added a little plain Greek yogurt to make the cornbread a little moist, and a little honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg to give it a hint of sweetness and autumn spice flavor.

Enjoy this cornbread all autumn long and during the holidays with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea! It's a great way to start off your day or take some time for an afternoon snack! :)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease an 8 × 8″ baking pan or line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Pour batter into the greased 8 × 8″ baking pan, smoothing the top, OR spoon batter into 12 lined muffin cups (each cup should be about 2/3 full of batter).
Bake CORNBREAD (in 8 × 8″ pan) at 375˚F for 22 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or almost clean (be careful not to over-bake the cornbread, or it will be dry).
