Notes
Use fresh roasted pumpkin. Cut a pie pumpkin in half. Place cut side down on a foil-lined pan. Roast for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove from oven and scrape out seeds. Return to oven for another 15 minutes to finish roasting. Allow to cool. Remove pumpkin flesh from the skin. Puree. Fresh pumpkin puree can be refrigerated for three days or frozen for 6 months.
Other winter squash can be used.
Canned pumpkin is also fine.
Play around with the spices. More ginger will give a spicy muffin.
