Easy Pumpkin Muffins
A Quick To Make Appetizer And Tasty Savory Snack

Makes 12 muffins

Just Add Prepare
• 1 cup vegetable oil

• 1 1/4 cup cooked pumpkin, pureed

• 1 cup plain flour

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1/2 cup cream

• 1 ts cumin seeds

• salt and pepper to taste

• 3/4 cup diced spring onions

• 12 ts Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• Preheat oven to 360F/180C

• If you're cooking fresh pumpkin for the muffins, trim and de-seed the pumpkin. Cut into chunks

• Boil the pumpkin in salted water till very tender. Drain well then mash. You could use a hand held blender to puree the fruit, but I use a potato masher for this small quantity

• Tip all the ingredients in a roomy mixing bowl except the spring onions and Parmesan cheese

• Combine well. The batter will look dry and will be hard to mix at the start (just like in the photo) but it will soon become a lovely smooth batter

• Toss in the diced spring onions and stir in

• Spoon the batter into muffin trays

• Top each muffin with a teaspoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese

• Bake for 35 minutes. The muffins are cooked when an inserted fine skewer or cake tester comes out clean.


These easy muffins make an ideal appetizer and are suitable as a tasty snack for the lunch box or to have after school.

Make double the quantity as the muffins freeze well and make a tasty standby when you need to provide snacks in a hurry.

Tips

Use flexible silicone muffin trays. It saves you the trouble of greasing and lining baking pans and it's easy to pop the cooked muffin out of the flexible mold.

When the muffin tray is freshly out of the oven, just pull the sides of the mold lightly to release the muffins from the walls of the mold, or use a butter knife to run around the edge, separating the muffin from the mold.

Rice bran oil is a high temperature oil and suitable for baked goods.
