Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Mix the wet and dry ingredients only until combined. Overmixing can make the muffins heavier and less tender. Use pure pumpkin purée rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling, as the latter contains additional sugar and seasonings. For homemade pumpkin purée, halve a small pumpkin and remove the seeds. Roast it cut-side down at 180°C until completely tender. Allow it to cool, scoop out the flesh, and blend until smooth. Leave the muffins in their silicone liners for 5 minutes after cooking. This gives them time to set before serving.Wine Advice
When serving these muffins for brunch or as a sweet treat, a glass of Cava provides a fresh contrast to the pumpkin, walnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg.Nutrition values
