Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly spray a 12-hole (⅓-cup/80ml capacity) muffin tin with oil.
  2. Sift flours, baking powder, sugar, salt, cumin and cayenne pepper into a large bowl. Season with salt. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, oil and pumpkin in a large jug. Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture until just combined (do not overmix). Stir in 150g feta.

Notes

TIPS: You will need to cook about 400g pumpkin to get 1 cup (170g) mashed pumpkin. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
