Tips for making a pumpkin muffin:
- Use a baking dish. If you are using a metal or glass mold, be sure to grease it with oil and sprinkle with semolina to prevent the muffin from burning. In the case of a silicone mold, greasing may not be necessary.
- For convenience, use a cooler to grate the pumpkin. This will make the cooking process even faster and easier.
- Try adding flavorings to the batter, such as cinnamon or vanilla, to enrich the flavor of your muffin.
- This recipe uses ammonium carbonate-free baking powder, but you can also use salt if it works for you.
- The pumpkin muffin is delicious both warm and chilled. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
