Ingredients for Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffin Recipe

• 1,5 cups granulated sugar (you can also use brown granulated sugar)
• 4 pieces of eggs

• 1 cup finely ground hazelnuts
• 2,5 water glass flour

How to Make a Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffin Recipe?

1. This dough rises a lot and needs to be cooked in a large mold. You should use a round cake mold with a diameter of at least 30 cm, or a square or rectangular cake tin of the same size. You can also use mafin molds for baking.
2. After peeling and dicing approximately 2 slices of pumpkin (about the size of a melon slice), put it in a small steel pot. Add 1 cup of water with a Turkish coffee cup and boil it on low heat until the zucchini softens, then remove from the stove. If there is, drain the water and wait for it to become lukewarm.
3. When it becomes warm, chop it and pour it into a glass of water. For this dessert, we will use 1 glass of sugar-free pumpkin puree, ladies.
4.  On the other hand, put the eggs waiting at room temperature into a deep mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar and oil. I beat it for 2-3 minutes with the mixer, you can mix more if you want.
5. You will add the mashed pumpkin and hazelnuts on it and mix it well with a spoon.
6. Finally, add baking soda, flour, cinnamon and allspice if available and continue mixing with a spoon. If available, you can also add 1 teaspoon of powder or grated nutmeg. The result is a dough that is firmer than cake batter, almost the consistency of mashed potatoes.
7. Thoroughly lubricate the mafin molds with oil. Take the cake batter with a spoon and fill the molds with a finger gap in their mouths. This is the rise of a finger cake. You can also bake the cake in a large cake tin.
8. Bake for 5 minutes in an oven preheated for 180 minutes and set to 40 degrees and upside down. Wait for it to become lukewarm and remove it from the mold. If you want, you can cook ready-made chocolate sauce and pour it over it. It will fit very well.

Note: Since this cake will rise a lot, cracks may occur on it. However, it is a very delicious cake.
