I promise these muffins are so yummy, everyone asks for the recipe. I found the recipe in a womans magazine several years ago by NZ food editor Robyn Martin.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup raw sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground mixed spice
400 g pumpkin, pieces
1 cup large sticky raisins
2 eggs
1 cup milk
50 g butter
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons raw sugar
Directions:
1. Sift flour into a bowl.
2. Stir through brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and mixed spice.
3. Remove seeds from pumpkin pieces and microwave on high for 5 minutes until just cooked but still firm.
4. Remove skin and cut into 1cm slices.
5. Toss through dry ingredients with raisins. Beat eggs together in a bowl.
6. Add milk.
7. Melt butter.
8. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients.
9. Add egg mixture, then butter.
10. Mix through gently.
11. Three-quarter fill greased muffin tins or line with muffin cases.
12. Sprinkle over pumpkin seeds and raw sugar. Bake at 200 degrees C for 20-25 minutes or until muffins spring back when lightly touched.
