Autumn basically means pumpkins time! Many autumn pumpkin recipes can be found online nowadays and they are all super tasty, but many are salty: velvets, soups, lasagna, pizzas! Why not try a sweet recipe?

We have prepared the Pumpkin and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Muffins using a pinch of lemon olive oil, in order to give it a more characteristic flavor, but if you want you can also make them with non-flavored olive oil or with orange / ginger olive oil (discover all our flavored olive oil on our shop).

Try our recipe and let us know: you will be amazed by their goodness and softness!

Directions for pumpkin muffins

  1. Bake the pumpkin in the oven, without adding extra virgin olive oil or other aromatic herbs, at 180 ° C for about 20 minutes. Before taking out the pumpkin from the oven, try sticking a fork into the pulp: it must be very soft.
  2. Take it out of the oven, separate it from the peel (if you cooked it with the peel) and let it cool in a colander so that it releases the excess water.
  3. Blend the pumpkin, extra virgin olive oil and lemon flavored olive oil. Add 1 egg.
  4. Mix the flour with the baking powder and sugar, then add the pumpkin mixture.
  5. Add the milk slowly.
  6. Cut the dark chocolate into coarse pieces and add it to the dough.
  7. Place about 3 tablespoons per serving in a muffin pan.
  8. Bake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 20 minutes. Test the toothpick to see if the mixture is ready to take out (it must be dry after putting it in a muffin).
  9. Enjoy your pumpkin muffins with extra virgin olive oil!
