Healthy pumpkin muffins
Use up leftovers from carving Halloween lanterns with these pumpkin muffins. They don’t have any added fat - the pumpkin that keeps them lovely and moist
Method
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a muffin tin with 10-11 cases and very lightly oil them (otherwise the fat-free mixture tends to stick to the paper). Alternatively, use silicone cases. Put the pumpkin in a bowl, partially cover so steam can escape, then microwave on full power for 5 mins. Mash the cooked pumpkin with the spices until smooth. Allow to cool.
Beat the yogurt, eggs, oat milk and maple syrup into the pumpkin, then fold in the flour, raisins and baking powder until well mixed. Add a drop more milk if required. Scoop into the muffin cases and sprinkle over the pecans. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and firm. Leave to cool and serve. Will keep chilled for up to three days in an airtight container.
