Mannik and muffins are very popular desserts. They love to improvise and appear in different guises. The composition of the components and the method of presentation are sometimes very unpredictable. So in this recipe, two desserts are combined into one delicacy that you can't help but like. The pastries are simply amazing. It looks like a soft, wet cupcake, and the fact that there is a pumpkin in it, no one will guess at all. Even non-lovers of this vegetable will not refuse to use such a cupcake. Therefore, I recommend not to refuse pleasure and prepare an amazing dessert.
Making muffins is very simple. I don't even know if there are lighter recipes. Mixed products, poured into molds and baked goods. Cupcakes are fluffier, very light and fluffy. I also want to note that semolina, the main component of the treat, boasts a high potassium content. This is an element that ensures and normalizes the work of the heart! Also, cereals are full of iron, essential vegetable protein and B vitamins.
