50g Islands Cocoa Powder

350g caster sugar

3 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3 tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

¼ tsp ground ginger

425g pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

177 ml sunflower oil

118 ml Milk

Crumb Topping:

90g plain flour

67g light brown sugar

¼ tsp salt

57g melted butter

Method

1

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir together and set aside.
2

In a second mixing bowl combine the pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, milk and chocolate buttons. Stir to combine.
3

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. The batter will be very thick!
4

Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 425ºF / 220ºC and make the crumb topping.
5

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter. Use your hands to squeeze the mixture together. Set the crumb aside until ready to use.
6

For bakery style muffins, line a 12 count muffin pan with 6 muffins liners, meaning you’ll only fill every other muffin well with batter. Fill the liners with 6-8 heaping tablespoons of batter. Take the topping and crumble it into fine crumbs over each muffin. Place one pan in the centre of the oven and bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF / 220ºC, turn the temperature down to 350ºF / 170ºC and bake for a further 17-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter, leave to cool before enjoying!
