INGREDIENTS
75g Rice flour
55g Almond flour
¼ tsp Baking power
¼ tsp Bicarbonate of soda
Pinch of Salt
2 tsp Ground cinnamon
110g Runny honey
4 Egg whites
1½ tbsp Rapeseed oil
1 Orange zest
200g Raw pumpkin or Butternut Squash finely grated
2tbps Raw Cocoa (Optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 180C.
Peel and grate finely your pumpkin (or butternut squash).
Put the egg whites, honey and oil in a your Béaba Babycook®, and blitz until smooth and thickened.
Sift the flours, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa if using.
Gradually stir the egg white mixture into the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the pumpkin and orange zest and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Pour the mixture into the muffin cases. Fill each case just over halfway. If you have the Béaba multiportion ®, you could use it instead of muffin cases.
Bake in the heated oven for 15 min and check. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and leave to cool completely. They can be kept for 3 days in an airtight container.
For a Halloween look, decorate your muffins with spider webs made out of Greek yogurt: just put 2tbps of yogurt into a piping bag and use a very thin nozzle to make thin lines resembling cobwebs.
