Ingredients
- 100g butter
- 150g self raising flour
- 3 eggs
- 200g cooked and mashed pumpkin
- 5 rashers thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped (we used Bacon Specialist)
- 75g grated Cheddar
- Handful of pumpkin seeds (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C Gas Mark 2
- In a large bowl pinch the flour, baking powder and butter together until they resemble breadcrumbs. (If your cooking with under 5s this is great for developing fine motor skills)
- Mix in the eggs and cheese to get a runny mixture.
- Mash in the pumpkin and stir in the bacon to form a thick batter.
- Divide into the muffin tray and top with the pumpkin seeds (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until springy when touched (by grown up).
- Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
- Enjoy warm as a snack or with salad as a light lunch.
TIP- roast the pumpkin seeds with a light spray of oil and dusting of cajun spice before using.
