Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins

I've been busy with back to school baking lately and I've been tweaking a pumpkin muffin recipe for a few weeks. I'm finally happy with this one so thought I would share.

All three kids loved them and I've already got another batch on my to do list for this week. 

 Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups plain (or wholemeal) flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (make sure it's DARK brown and not just brown)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (if you don't have coconut oil just use butter and cream with the sugars first)
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups of pumpkin puree

Method: 

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. 

Sift flour and mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl mix coconut oil, pumpkin, eggs and vanilla extract until well combined. Fold in dry ingredients until incorporated well.

Spoon in lined muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes in pre-heated oven.
