Pumpkin muffins with honey and nuts

By Šárka Hubáček Leave a Comment

As much as I love spring, I adore autumn. And it finally came. This summer was really really hot, humid and all I want to remember are those days at Starnberger See. We moved to Munich in summer and now I have to deal with a tiny kitchenette with even tinier oven. I can’t wait to spend some time in a proper a fully equiped kitchen. Still – I made those gorgeous pumpkin muffins with honey and nuts.

And I also chose it as a recipe to support World Lymphoma Awareness Day. It is held on September 15th every year and few weeks ago I was asked by Lymfom Help, Czech association of people who suffer from this kind of cancer or people who just want to support this case, to make a recipe in their colours: orange and blue. So I did. I hope that this will not only be delicious recipe but also a small reminder to anyone, that a disease like lymphoma exists.

Well there are some things I’d like to mention about this recipe. Firstly, I really like it. It’s dense and full of flavour and still very easy to make. Usually I make it as a pumpkin bread, but muffins are so comfy to take away one by one. Serve it with a hot cup of tea (cause it’s rainy and what’s better than proper cuppa?) and some nice, a bit piquant and preferably homemade, jam like blueberry, blackcurrant or mixed berries.

I hope you all will enjoy this dull, gray Tuesdays! 🙂 (Oh yeah, that’s a Harry Potter reference. Got it? Got it? Just tell me you got it and have a wide smile on your face right now.)
