Pumpkin and Orange are natural flavour partners. These muffins are equally delicious made with your own pumpkin or the canned variety. (Don’t use pumpkin pie mix)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat or all purpose flour
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 egg
- 1 3/4 cup (425ml) pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp coarsely grated orange rind (use an organic orange)
- 1/2 cup orange juice (juice the orange that you use for the rind)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, raisins, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In separate bowl, beat egg. Blend in pumpkin puree, orange rind and juice, and oil. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
- Spoon into greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake in center of 375 degree oven for about 25 minutes or until tops are firm to touch. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to rack and let cool.
