Autumn means cozy afternoons at home. Should a rainy day be made sweeter? Then bake some delicious pumpkin muffins while listening to a good crime podcast.
Here is a recipe for Hokkaido Pumpkin Muffins created by Nanna Elisabeth Vestergaard Kaldan, Gastronomic Chef at HelloFresh. We’d love to come for a cake if you invite us!
Ingredients
- You can either grate a whole pumpkin on a raw food star or use the leftover pumpkin after you hollow out the lights. Smart!

- 110 grams of sugar
- 110 grams of brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla sugar or grains of ½ stick vanilla
- Grated peel of 1 lemon
- 200 grams of wheat flour
- 2.5 tsp. baking soda
