Ingredients:
280g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
300g cooked pumpkin, drained and puréed
2 eggs
100g brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
90g chopped pecan nuts or walnuts
60g raisins (optional)
Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt into a large bowl and stir to combine. In a separate bowl combine the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Form a well in the centre of the flour mix and pour the pumpkin mixture into this . Stir to combine then add the nuts and raisins (if using). Mix well enough to combine, but do not over-mix. Spoon the batter into the wells of a 12-cup muffin tin that have been greased with butter and floured (do not fill more than 3/4 full).
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake the muffins for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
