STEP 1
Indulge your senses by preheating the oven to a delightful 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by lining it with stylish muffin cases. Combine the heavenly trio of flour, baking powder, and a tantalising blend of cinnamon and sugars in a large bowl. Ensure any soft, light brown sugar lumps are lovingly broken up.
STEP 2
Experience pure bliss as you whisk the velvety pumpkin purée and eggs together in a jug. Then, with great anticipation, add this harmonious mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the melted butter. Using an electric hand whisk, blend these wonderful elements for 1-2 minutes until a state of complete combination is reached.
STEP 3
Prepare to embark on a culinary journey as you bake these muffins for 15 minutes, allowing them to turn a luscious golden hue and rise to perfection. Verify their readiness by inserting a skewer, which should emerge flawlessly clean. Gently transfer the muffins to a wire rack, cooling them completely.
Optional Finishing Touches:
For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle a dusting of icing sugar perfectly infused with a hint of cinnamon or adorn your masterpieces with a smattering of toasted pumpkin seeds.
Storage:
When stored in an airtight container, these magnificent muffins will retain their splendour for up to three days. Savour every moment of their delightful freshness.

STEP 1:
Prepare for an encounter with pure culinary delight – carefully place the pumpkin flesh into the mighty blades of a food processor. Allow it to dance and whirl for 30 seconds until its texture becomes almost magically smooth. Now, introduce the finely chopped onion, the aromatic garlic, and the magnificent mixture of spices. Whizz again for 30-45 seconds, blending the flavours into a vibrant symphony of taste. Witness this beautiful creation pour into a large pan, like an artist’s masterpiece upon a canvas.
STEP 2:
Prepare for the symphony to reach its climax – pour the warm embrace of vegetable stock over the harmonious blend within the pan, and watch as it awakens to a lively boil. Cover it, allowing the flavours to intertwine and evolve for 15-20 minutes, like a mesmerising ballet upon a simmering stage.
STEP 3:
Prepare to witness the transformation – remove the pan from the heat, and, like a culinary maestro, blend the vibrant mixture until it reaches a state of pure silkiness. Now, return it to the gentle embrace of the heat, allowing it to simmer ever so lightly. With each passing moment, stir in the indulgent cream, allowing it to melt, swirl, and caress the senses. Should the creation overflow with abundance, perform this act with grace and poise, in batches if necessary. Of course, a true artist performs a final taste test to ensure the seasoning is impeccable.
STEP 4:
Prepare to indulge in a sensory symphony – this soup masterpiece is best enjoyed with warm, crusty bread, providing the perfect companion for your culinary journey. As a final touch, sprinkle a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds on top, creating a delightful crunch that tantalises the palate. For those seeking the ultimate sensory experience, add a small swirl of extra cream, like an edible work of art worthy of admiration.
Get ready to be enthralled by this bold and satisfying Spicy Pumpkin Soup – a triumph of flavours that will enchant your taste buds and your heart warmed with every spoonful.
