Pumpkin baked goods are a prime example of a dietary approach. it is a healthy dietary product, from which it is used as the basis for many different dishes, from pies to side dishes. I note that in this recipe, in the summer season, the pumpkin can be safely replaced with zucchini, but then you will need to add one more egg. Such muffins will turn out, of course, not sweet, but also tasty, and they can be served as a second, or as a side dish with sour cream-mustard sauce.
As for this recipe, these pumpkin muffins are the most delicate dessert that just melts in your mouth. In addition to pumpkin, there is no more flour or semolina, only bran. The smell and taste of pumpkin, which not everyone loves, is masked by orange peel, and sugar is replaced with honey. Well, what could be tastier, and most importantly healthier, with a diet? However, I note that in order for the pumpkin desserts to be tasty, you should first of all learn how to choose it. Firstly, you should give preference to pumpkin from 3 to 5 kg. Secondly, its skin should be dense, smooth and free of damage. Thirdly, the brighter its pulp, the tastier the vegetable will be. And also buy an always ripe product - a ripe pumpkin has a dry and dark tail.
These muffins can be served by garnishing with powdered sugar, chocolate chips, or pouring some icing. And due to the high content of the rarest vitamin T in this vegetable, it can deservedly be called the best dessert. Since it is this vitamin that promotes better absorption of heavy foods, which prevents obesity.
