Yellow Squash Cornbread Muffins image

This is my modification of Recipe #121853 (which I love). Since the muffins taste so much like cornbread, I decided to make a version that actually have corn meal. I also use whole wheat flour and flaxseed meal to make them even healthier.

These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a little lighter and fluffier. The flavor was good, but the texture was just not quite right.

I'm always looking for new cornbread recipes and this one did not disappoint. The yellow squash added a nice sweetness and the muffins were very moist. I will definitely be making these again.

These muffins were so easy to make and they turned out perfect. I followed the recipe exactly and they were done in no time. I served them with butter and honey and they were delicious.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The muffins were so moist and flavorful. I especially loved the addition of yellow squash, which gave them a unique and delicious twist. I will definitely be making these again.
