Ingredients for Pumpkin Cinnamon Muffin Recipe

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

• 2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon allspice (optional)
• 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 baked in a large mold. You must use a round cake mold with a diameter of at least 30 centimeters or a square or rectangular cake mold of the same size. You can also use muffin molds to bake.
2. Peel and cut approximately 2 slices of pumpkin (about the size of a melon slice) into cubes, then place them in a small steel pot. Add a Turkish coffee cup and 1 cup of water, boil over low heat until the squash becomes soft, then remove it from the stove. Strain the water, if any, and wait for it to become warm.
3. When it becomes warm, chop it and pour it into a glass of water. For this dessert, ladies, we will use 1 cup of sugar-free pumpkin puree.
4.  On the other hand, place the eggs at room temperature into a deep mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar and oil. I beat it with the mixer for about 2-3 minutes, you can mix it more if you want.
5. Add the pureed pumpkin and hazelnuts and mix well with a spoon.
6. Finally, add baking soda, flour, cinnamon and allspice, if any, and continue mixing with a spoon. If available, you can also add 1 teaspoon of powdered or grated nutmeg. As a result, you will get a dough that is thicker than cake dough and almost has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
7. Grease muffin molds well with oil. Scoop out the cake batter with a spoon and fill it into the molds, leaving an inch of space around the rim. This is the rising share of a finger cake. You can also bake the cake in a large cake mold.
8. Bake for 5 minutes in a preheated oven set to 180 degrees and upside down for 40 minutes. Wait for it to become warm and then remove it from the mold. If you want, you can cook ready-made chocolate sauce and drizzle it over it. It will suit you very well.

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