Pumpkin muffins – for tea or dinner?

 

Pumpkin muffins – the savoury kind

I hope you love pumpkin!
Because I’m all into pumpkins right now.

Today it’s pumpkin muffins – the savoury kind.
They are good!

It is my go-to recipe for fast and easy bread for breakfast or alongside a bowl of (pumpkin) soup.
I have baked these muffins at least once a week since the beginning of October!
You can use different types of pumpkins – so far, I’ve made them with Halloween pumpkins and Hokkaido pumpkins.

Pumpkin muffins – a perfect fit for soup or stews

 

Savoury pumpkin muffins – fast and easy muffin recipe

First time I made these muffins I made a mistake.
I forgot the sugar in my sweet and spicy pumpkin muffins.

The “sweet” pumpkin muffins tasted a bit like a Christmas bun and made me want to experiment.
It turned into a thyme pumpkin muffin – a perfect fit for a pumpkin soup, and later a neutral muffin for breakfast.

Which pumpkins?

When I started baking these muffins, I used Halloween pumpkins.
It is very neutral in taste and gives light-coloured buns.

Halloween pumpkins are pretty moist and require more flour than Hokkaido pumpkins and other drier pumpkins, and you get pale muffins.
Hokkaido gives the buns a nice yellow-orange colour.
You can also use butternut squash and other pumpkins.

Pumpkin muffins – easy breakfast

 

How big?

If you want pumpkin muffins for breakfast, make them large.
If you need them as a muffin to go with soups and stews, you can bake them any size – I usually bake normal or smaller muffins.

I always use paper muffin liners.
Normal paper muffin liners if baked in a 12-hole muffin tray.
When I make breakfast muffins, I use some large paper liners.
The biggest ones are from IKEA – I think they are for cinnamon buns.

If I use the large paper muffin liners, I put them directly on the baking tray, so the dough spread out, and the muffins become more like buns.

When should you eat pumpkin muffins?

I first made these pumpkin muffins as a quick bread – to eat with soups.
But they are SUPER fast to make IF there is grated pumpkin in the fridge – or defrosted from the freezer.

They take 5-10 minutes to mix and get into paper muffin liners, are baked in 18-22 minutes, so there are freshly baked muffins in approx. ½ hour – that’s nice.

When we use pumpkin muffins for breakfast or tea, they are baked without spices and with less salt – because butter and cheese add extra.
My son likes pumpkin muffins with Nutella – so you can use almost anything on top of these neutral pumpkin muffins.

These savoury, healthy pumpkin muffins are also perfect as a snack, makes a packed lunch amazing, and are great as a grab and go breakfast.

This is my go-to recipe for fast and easy bread for breakfast - or for lunch and dinner.
You can use different types of pumpkins.
Amount 6 -12 muffins
Author Christel Parby

Equipment

  • Paper muffin liners – normal or large

Ingredients

Wet

  • 100 g grated pumpkin *
  • 50 g rapeseed oil or other neutral oil
  • 50 g Greek yogurt
  • ¼ tsp citric acid
  • 2 eggs

Dry

  • 125 g wheat flour or manitoba flour
  • 55-60 g whole wheat flour **
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼-½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or 2 tsp. dried basil oregano… (without spice for breakfast)

Instructions

  • Turn on the oven at 175°C fan oven (350°F fan oven)

Wet

  • Mix the pumpkin with oil, add Greek yogurt, and mix well.
  • Sprinkle citric acid on top and mix.
  • Mix in the eggs and stir well.

Dry

  • Prepare your paper muffin liners – place them in a muffin tin or on a baking tray.
  • Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  • Add the wet ingredients while stirring, stir the dough with a spoon. Don’t stir to much – the dough should only be mixed so that there are no large dry flour pockets.
  • Fill the cups ½-¾ up – divide the dough into 6-12 muffin cups.

Baking

  • Bake your pumpkin muffins for 18-22 minutes, depending on size and oven.
  • Keep an eye on the muffins and check with a meat pin/toothpick if they are done.
  • Let your pumpkin muffins cool on a wire rack.
  • Shelf life 2-3 days – maybe longer.
  • Store dry and airtight – e.g. in a freezer bag.

Notes

 
* Cut your pumpkin in halves, remove the kernels with a spoon, store them and make toasted pumpkin seeds as a snack.
Cut the pumpkin into thin boats and peel them with a potato peeler or remove the peel with a small knife.
Grate the pumpkin roughly, divide the grated pumpkin into smaller portions and store in the fridge or freezer.
 
** The amount of flour depends on how wet your pumpkin is – Halloween pumpkin requires more flour than Hokkaido.
