Sorry havn't been blogging much. Seems the month goes too quickly and my head just has not got around to blogging!
SO this month has been a pretty regular month. There are a few things I wish to discuss but I'll save that for another day..er night I mean. For some mad reason I write much better in the midnight hours haha. So for you this evening, (Weird saying evening seeing as daylight savings has hit us and its really sun shiny outside :) I will give you very seasonal recipe :D. Seasonal for yall followers who all live in the Northern Hemisphere and are about to celebrate Thanksgiving..to be honest it feels sad that I know soo much about American folk..though you could say I am simply culturally aware ;)
Anyway enough beating around the bush. These are my babies. They were amazing, I cant tell you enough!
SPICY PUMPKIN AND CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
Now the recipe is really simple.
These are the ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of self raising flour
2tsp cinnamon
2tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
80g melted butter
1 1/2 cups pureed pumpkin
1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate (YUM)
Peheat oven to 180 degrees.
Take your pumpkin and cut her up, then puree it in a food processor. Or you could do it the easy way and buy pureed pumpkin? I've only heard about that good stuff. I'm guessing its canned.? Anyway I had to cook mine then process it up like this :) Oh and I left it to cool down. This is pretty important. You cannot put hot stuff in baking. I'm sure theres a more informative scientific reason but I just know you dont do. Dont even be tempted folks :)
Melt your butter and leave to one side.
Now put flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl.
Once the pumpkin has cooled down. You may now beat your eggs and then mix with the pumpkin and melted butter. Check out my old school hand beater. I beleive this was my grandmothers :)
Now you may mix the dry and wet ingredients together. The mixture shouldnt be runny, but a sticky consistancy. Dont forget to add the CHOCOLATE (tehe) and transport the mix to their cosy wee cupcake cups.
Bake for 20 minutes or until muffins springs up when pressed.
Enjoy. With a glass or two of milk.
Will write again soon, I promise! Bless you all!
Love yas , H x
PS I dont drink whisky, apparently the above glass is made just for that particular alcohol. Little do I know.
