    1 Preheat the oven to 200°C.

    2 Grate the pumpkin and put it in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar and stir to combine. Add the olive spread and eggs and mix with a beater or a wooden spoon until you have a smooth mixture (don’t over-mix).

    3 Spoon the mixture into a muffin pan that’s been sprayed with a little oil, or use paper muffin cases.

    4 Bake the muffins for about 15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the muffins are cooked through.

    5 If you like, in the last 5 minutes of cooking sprinkle the tops of the muffins with a little brown sugar, which will melt on the top.

    6 Cool on a wire rack.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and  check cinnamon doesn’t contain gluten.

    Try adding a few sultanas or walnuts into the mixture.
