It's autumn outside, which means it's time for seasonal pumpkin dishes. We decided to start with a dessert and prepared pumpkin muffins. This is quite a simple dish, the only difficulty being the peeling of the pumpkin and the slightly extended cooking time due to the fact that the pumpkin needs to be baked beforehand until soft. So, we will tell and show you how we prepared these seasonal treats.
Time spent: up to 1.5 hours
Difficulty: 3 out of 5 (subjectively due to peeling the pumpkin)
Cost of ingredients: average
We will need:
500 g of pumpkin (weight indicated without seeds and skin)
300 g of flour
2 eggs
60 ml of milk
120 ml of oil (we used grape seed oil, which is perfect for baking)
We peel the pumpkin and clean out the core (removing seeds and membranes; we can dry the seeds and use them in food, or add them to salads, soups, etc.). We chose a "guitar" pumpkin, as its flesh is sweet and perfect for baking.

Викладаємо у термостійку форму та відправляємо у духовку, розігріту до 180 градусів, на 20-25 хвилин
The pumpkin should become soft, so this time can be influenced by both the pumpkin itself and the size of the pieces.
We take the pumpkin out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Перекладаємо в миску та перебиваємо блендером до пюреподібного стану
Готове гарбузове пюре
We used an immersion blender, although a bowl blender can also be used. It’s a matter of convenience and what devices you have on hand.
In a large bowl, we break the eggs, add sugar (cane and vanilla), pour in the milk, oil, and mix thoroughly with a whisk.

Додаємо до отриманої маси гарбузове пюре
Додаємо корицю та вимішуємо до однорідності
We sift the flour, start gradually and in small portions to add it to the main mixture, constantly stirring it with a whisk.
Починаємо додавати борошно
When we have mixed in half of the flour, we add baking soda and baking powder to the dough. We continue to add flour and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.
Готове тісто
We fill the muffin molds with the dough up to ¾ full
За кілька хвилин до випікання
We place them on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven at 180 degrees. The upper and lower heating elements are turned on, and the convection mode is set. We will bake for 30 minutes.
Початок випікання
From the amount of ingredients used, we got 17 small muffins. It is also possible to pour the dough into a large cake mold to get one big one ;) We take the muffins out of the mold, wait for them to cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, brew our favorite hot drink, and enjoy.
