Pulire la zucca e cuocerla a vapore (o al forno se preferite). Ridurla in crema schiacciandola con una forchetta. Mescolare assieme in una ciotola farina, lievito, zucchero, cannella e noce moscata. In un altra sbattere velocemente il burro ammorbidito con le uova, la zucca e aggiungere per ultimo il latte. Mescolare assieme ingredienti secchi e liquidi con un cucchiaio. Riempire con il composto uno stampo per muffin imburrato e cuocere in forno caldo a 180° per 20 minuti.

Here I am, just in time to publish a Halloween recipe. Last year I made cupcakes, this time I didn't work too hard and baked muffins, again. I used pumpkin though, key ingredient, which makes cakes incredibly spongy and, of course, it colours them yellow. These muffins are quite spicy and not very sweet, so if you like to "feel" sugar, add some more.
Steam pumpkin, then smash it with a fork. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. In another bowl whisk butter with eggs, then add pumpkin and finally milk. Mix together dry and liquid ingredients, then spoon poon the mixture into a greased muffin tin (or with paper cups) and bake at 180° C (350F - gas mark 4) for about 20 minutes.
