Tip
1. I roast sliced pumpkin in a tray in the oven at 200C ahead of time when cooking other things, weigh out 200g and puree in Thermomix and then save in fridge for a couple of days or freeze in 200g portions until needed. You could grate the pumpkin instead for a quick batch but baking brings out the natural sweetness of the pumpkin for a better tasting muffin.
2. You may use regular flour for non gluten-free and omit the Xanthan gum. I do find that xanthan gum helps to keep gluten-free muffins stay together better than without.
3. For a NUT-FREE option for lunch boxes, etc substitute the walnuts for sunflower and extra pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
4. If you have pumpkin spice, use 2 tsp instead of the other spices combined.
