  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

How To Make delicious gluten-free pumpkin spice cornmeal muffins

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cups.
  • Step 2
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs till frothy, and add the oil; whisk to combine. Add the pumpkin puree and whisk well. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and Pumpkin Pie Spice and whisk to combine.
  • Step 3
    In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal, Pamela's Ultimate Baking Mix, baking powder, and sea salt.
  • Step 4
    Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, add the dry ingredients into the wet; and stir by hand just enough to make a smooth batter. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the twelve muffin cups. I use an ice cream scoop.
  • Step 5
    Bake on a center rack in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or so, until the muffins are firm to the touch and golden. Check with a wooden pick, if necessary; if it emerges clean, the muffins are done.
  • Step 6
    Place the muffin pan on a wire to cool a bit- maybe five minutes- then remove the muffins from the tin and place them on the wire rack to continue cooling.
  • Step 7
    Serve warm or cold. Tastes great the next day!
  • Step 8
    Store leftover muffins (wrapped and bagged) in the freezer. Thaw and reheat by toasting.
