Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: For the best flavor and texture, use a sugar pumpkin or a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins have a sweeter, denser flesh than other varieties.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the pumpkin until it is very soft and tender.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you can, use fresh ginger in the glaze.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup evenly with batter. This will help to ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The muffins are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
