Spice up your mornings with these yummy muffins. Submitted by GP.

INGREDIENTS
3 large organic eggs
1/2 cup extra light olive or vegetable oil
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup organic stone ground cornmeal
1 cup baking mix
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with double paper cups.

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 pie spice and whisk to combine.

3. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal, flour mix. 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.

4. Bake on a center rack in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or so, until the muffins are firm to the touch and golden. Check with a wooden toothpick, if necessary; if it emerges clean, the muffins are done.

5. 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.
