Ingredients:
325g Self-raising Flour
180g Caster Sugar
125g Unsalted Butter
300g Pumpkin Puree
3 Medium Eggs
Handful of Blackberries
Slice of Apple and Sprinkle of Brown Sugar to garnish
Method:
- Begin by lining a muffin tray with 12 cases or like us use a silicon tray and preheat the oven to 170C.
- In a bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter and caster sugar using a wooden spoon.
- Next up sieve in the self-raising flour and pumpkin puree. For this recipe, we chopped a chunk of pumpkin and roasted it for 40 minutes, removed the skin, and then used a fork to mash the pumpkin to a smooth consistency. You could also use a food mixer.
- Combine everything together and add in the eggs. Finish by stirring through a good handful of blackberries.
- Divide the mixture between the 12 cases. Top each muffin with a thin slice of apple and a sprinkling of brown sugar on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden in colour and cooked through.
