Organic Wheat Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients:

Organic Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cup

Organic Brown Sugar - 3/4 cup

Red Pumpkin (grated) - 1 cup

Melted Butter - 1/2 cup

Eggs - 2

Baking Powder - 1/2 tsp

Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp

Salt - A pinch

Cinnamon Powder - 1/2 tsp

Chopped Nuts (Cashew and Almonds) - 1 tbsp

Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp


Method:

1.  Preheat oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

2.  Mix together organic whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder.  Keep aside.

3.  Line muffin molds with liners.  I used aluminium foil ready-to-bake molds, so did not use liners.

4.  In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until fluffy at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes.

5.  Add organic brown sugar and beat well until frothy at high speed for about 2 minutes.

6.  Pour melted butter into this mixture as a thin stream while continuing to beat with the handheld beater.

7.  Add vanilla extract and beat for a minute.

8.  Add the flour mixture little by little and beat on slow speed until combined together well.

9.  Mix in the grated pumpkin with a spatula into the batter and also add in the chopped nuts saving some for garnishing.  Mix well with the spatula.

10.  Scoop out the batter into the muffin molds.  I got 8 muffins of approximately 60 gm each.

11.  Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes at 180 degrees or until the skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

12.  Remove from oven, allow to cool on wire rack, and use or store.

Yummy, healthy, organic, homemade whole wheat pumpkin muffins are ready.  These muffins stay good for 2 days and for a longer shelf life store in refrigerator.
