Ingredients

  • 60ml/2fl oz vegetable oil
  • 180g/6½oz self-raising flour
  • 130g/4½oz wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • pinch salt
  • 3 fresh rosemary
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 100ml/4fl oz plain yoghurt
  • 275ml/10fl oz milk
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 240g/8½oz cooked pumpkin
  • handful pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Oil a 12-hole muffin tin and line with 12 squares of baking paper. Push the squares down into each hole so that the paper sticks up.
  • Sift the flours, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl. Stir in the salt and rosemary. (Reserve any wholegrain left in the sieve.)
  • Meanwhile in another bowl, mix the eggs, yoghurt, milk, honey and vegetable oil until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold the ingredients together, but be careful not to over-work the mixture. Stir in most of the pumpkin, reserving a little for the top of the muffins. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases.
  • Sprinkle the reserved wholegrain, pumpkin and the pumpkin seeds over the muffins. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
