[Guest guest]

I made these up last night and they are quite yummy if I do say so

myself I just figured I'd share. I have also placed this recipe in

the recipe section of our group files.

Pumpkin Muffins - by Christine Ziegler-Bollum

 

3 & 1/2 Cups Flour (organic unbleached all purpose preferably)

1/4 tsp. Salt (unrefined preferably)

1 tsp. Baking Powder

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 Tbsp. Cinnamon Powder (5% oil content or higher preferably)

1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract

4 Large Eggs (free range preferably)

1 & 1/2 Cups Sucanat or Brown Sugar

1 Cup Safflower Oil (or other light oil - expeller or cold pressed

preferably)

2 Cups Steamed Mashed Pumpkin (this is about one pie pumpkin worth or

one large can - organic preferably)

2/3 Cup Raisins (organic preferably)

1 Cup Chopped Walnuts (organic preferably)

1/4 - 1/2 Cup Crystallized Ginger chopped finely (optional - organic

preferably)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 2 large muffin pans generously and

then dust with flour. In a mixing bowl combine wet ingredients -

pumpkin, vanilla, eggs, oil and sugar. In another bowl sift together the

flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Combine the blend

of powdered ingredients slowly with the wet ingredients (in about 3

batches). Mix until smooth. Add raisins, nuts and ginger. Stir well.

Pour batter into prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake for 30 minutes until lightly brown and a toothpick stuck in the

middle of each muffin comes out clean.

 

Enjoy!
