Pumpkin muffins are baked goods that are delicate in texture, spicy and slightly moist in taste. They can be cooked during the high season, when the pumpkin is on the shelves or ripe in your country house.
At any other time, use ready-made pumpkin puree. If you buy it in a store and it is already sweet, then you need to slightly reduce the amount of sugar in the dough. Ready-made pumpkin puree of a liquid consistency can also be used, but then you need to take a little less fermented milk product (for one tablespoon).
It is not always possible to buy ready-made mashed potatoes in a can, but making a homemade version should not create any difficulties. To do this, boil the pumpkin (for example, steam), although it is better and easier to bake it. The mass can be used immediately or frozen for future use.
Spicy pumpkin muffins are loved even by those who don't like vegetables. Even a beginner can cook them. For baking muffins, you can use piece silicone or metal molds, sectional ones are also suitable. It will be more convenient to bake and take out if you put special paper capsules in them.

The finished puree is stored without freezing in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Add the pumpkin mass to the dough and mix with it by hand with a spoon or a whisk, gently, but so as to combine and mix these ingredients.
