This week’s recipe hails from Celebrating Quick Breads and Pastries, a great book filled with lovely recipes for muffins, quick breads, biscuits and pastries of course. If you’re new to baking and are looking for easy recipes with great kitchen tips then this one is for you.
The original recipe is a simple orange pumpkin muffin. While the plan is to keep it just as easy, my version has a few more steps. The final result turned out to be great, so it’s worth it! I added a dash of cinnamon in the batter, omitted the walnuts completely and added a white chocolate ginger streusel topping.
A simple spiced pumpkin muffin with the zing of orange and the sweet white chocolate and ginger streusel perfectly rolls the flavors of fall into this delicious muffin.
