I know this recipe is a few days late.
But pumpkin season isn’t over yet and I think that yet another pumpkin recipe couldn’t harm anyone. Especially a pumpkin muffins recipe. I just love anything that comes in the shape of a muffin.
If I’d have to choose a favorite dessert for the fall season, it would definitely be pumpkin pie. But sadly, I can’t eat just pumpkin pie all the time, so for diversity’s sake, I wanted to try something else without letting the pumpkin go.
For this recipe I chose to grate the pumpkin and cook it for a few minutes with some sugar, since I like to find bites and pieces of pumpkin in my muffins and I consider that using a puree makes them too mushy for my taste.
Regarding the spices, I loved the combination of cinnamon and anise, but my boyfriend for example found the anise taste a bit too fragrant, so if you haven’t tried this spice before, maybe you should less. I for a change like the aroma, which I find to be a little lemony and fresh, so again, it’s a matter of taste.
I think these would be great with a Halloween decoration, but I’m still struggling with my decorating abilities, so have patience with me.
