Pumpkin, the flavor of fall.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable oil or oil spray, for oiling

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2/3 cup cake flour

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 2 1/8 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • Salt

  • 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, very finely chopped

  • 1 3/4 cups cooked pumpkin, cut into 1/4 inch dice

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil

  • a handful of pumpkin seeds

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Cut out 12 squares of parchment paper measuring 5 ½ x 5 ½ inches. Oil a 12-hole muffin tin and push parchment squares into each hole (or use pre-made muffin wrappers).
  • In a large bowl, sift the flours, baking powder, and baking soda. (Keep any whole wheat left in the sifter for toppings.) Stir in the pinch of salt and rosemary.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients, except a third of the pumpkin. Stir well until liquid is well-combined. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and, using a large spoon, mix all the ingredients together. Do not overmix!
  • Let mixture stand for 5 minutes, then spoon into the muffin holes.
  • Sprinkle the excess whole wheat, reserved pumpkin, and pumpkin seeds over the muffins.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen.
