Recipe: 00106 Title : Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Muffins Author: Date : May 1995 _________________________________________________________________________ This is one of my favourite muffin recipes. I vary the spices for variety; for instance, cinnamon, mixed spice (similar to pumpkin pie spice in the US?), or nutmeg. 1 cup fancy sliced almonds 1.3/4 cups flour 1 tsp garam masala 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 cup cooked mashed pumpkin 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 150g butter 1 cup chocolate chips 1 tsp allspice Put almonds on to an oven tray & bake at 180 deg Celsius for about 5 mins or until lightly browned (this step may also be done in a microwave). Sift flour, allspice, garam masala, b/pdr, b/soda & salt together, stir in sugar. In a separate bowl beat the eggs, melt the butter & add with pumpkin to eggs. Beat, stir in almonds & ch/chips. Quickly fold in dry ingredients. 3/4 fill greased muffin pans & bake 180deg Celsius for 20 mins or until well risen. Makes 12. -=-=-=-=- _________________________________________________________________________
