In my opinion, corn muffins are the most underrated muffin flavor ever.

I recently had the most delicious corn muffin (not from my kitchen) and I have been craving them over and over again. But I also wanted to make one that isn’t too sweet. And also put a little fall twist on it.

Insert these healthy Pumpkin Corn Muffins! The ultimate fall muffin recipe for all my corn muffin lovers out there!

These were a hit with Ezra too, which is another reason why I wanted to do less sugar. Just a little maple syrup and it did the batch wonders. You can of course add in more if you’d like a sweeter muffin. They would be absolutely amazing!

I have been warming these up in the microwave and adding a smear of butter and they are too die for. Or you can add some creamy peanut butter on top and add them to your favorite breakfast bowl of sorts. They also keep in the freezer so well if you want to bake a batch and keep them on hand.

What ingredients you need to make these healthier pumpkin corn muffins:

  • Eggs – I haven’t tested flax eggs but I would think they work ok!
  • Organic canned pumpkin – look for the no sugar added kind. Sometimes canned pumpkin sneaks in added sugar
  • Maple syrup – or you can use honey. I don’t use much in this recipe so if you want a sweeter muffin, add more
  • Non-dairy milk – any variety works. Almond, coconut, oat, anything!
  • Organic cornmeal  – I look for organic and non-GMO verified since corn is such a heavily processed and modified ingredient
  • Gluten-free oat flour – or you can use spelt flour or whole wheat would work well
  • Sea salt

On how to make these easy peasy corn muffins:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tray with liners or grease well
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, maple syrup and milk
  3. Mix in the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt until fully combined
  4. Fill muffin holders about 2/3 full (they don’t rise too much!) then bake in oven for 15-18 minutes, or until you stick toothpick in and it comes out clean
