Pumpkin, date and almond cup cakes/muffins




Sounds odd, but this is a very lovely combination. It actually tastes more like carrot cake than anything else. I whacked on some cream and a dash of maple, too.




400g pumpkin, cooked + mashed

2 cups self raising flour

1 teaspoon bi-carb soda

1 teaspoon all-spice

2 eggs

1 cup chopped dates

½ cup finely chopped almonds



Cook/steam pumpkin (I used the microwave) until soft. Mash, then cool.

Add all the other ingredients, then the mash. Mix well.

Put into the paddy cups (or you can make a big 'ol cake) and bake in a 160-180 oven for about 15mins. Easy.

*Special thanks to Mr.N for the cup cake holders :)
