Preparation

How to prepare Pumpkin Muffins

To prepare the pumpkin muffins, clean and wash the pumpkin, remove the peel and seeds, then cut it into slices about 1 inch thick 1. Wrap the pumpkin with two sheets of aluminum foil, forming a "packet," and bake it in the oven for 1 hour at 400°F 2. When the pumpkin has softened, remove it from the oven, open the packet, and let it cool 3.

Meanwhile, beat the butter until creamy 4, using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer or the beaters of a hand mixer. Continue beating and add the brown sugar 5, honey (or molasses) 6,

the mashed pumpkin 7, and finally the egg 8. When all the ingredients are combined, reaching a creamy consistency, turn off the mixer and set everything aside. In a bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda 9,

then add the salt and spices and mix everything well with a spoon 11. At this point, add the dry ingredients to the mixture in the stand mixer and continue to mix for a few minutes 11. The dough is ready; now you just need to put it into the muffin molds: place a paper liner inside each muffin mold 12,

then fill a pastry bag with a plain nozzle with the pumpkin mixture 13. Now distribute the mixture evenly into the molds 14 and bake everything in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes 15.

Storage

Store the pumpkin muffins for 3-4 days under a glass dome or in an airtight container, placed in a cool and dry place.

Advice

The range of possible additions is quite varied: from amaretto liqueur (a small glass, for flavoring) to soft goat cheese, to be mixed with the pumpkin, for added flavor. It's your choice!
