Savory Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

Savory Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins

Sweetened only with a little honey, these gently spiced pumpkin and cornmeal muffins are definitely on the savory side. They are delightfully moist, with a modest pleasing crunch from the cornmeal. Because they aren't very sweet, they are ideal to go along with meals in place of rolls or bread. I enjoyed them with spicy curries and soups. They are satisfying in their own right though, so considering having one as part of your breakfast or for a morning or afternoon snack with tea or coffee. Did I mention that these are vegan, easy to make, and a good way to warm up the kitchen? And the aroma while they are baking is heavenly.

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
