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 dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cornmeal. The yellow squash was a nice addition, though.
