Pumpkin muffins, cinnamon and chocolate chips / muffins with pumpkin, cinnamon and chocolate drops of incoming

As I Said HERE, last weekend I've been in Piozzo, PUMPKIN FESTIVAL Started ", I know I Decided to prepare something with this fabulous product of the earth. Between Various cooked dishes I've Chosen These muffins, first experiment of this kind (never before cooked muffins!)





Cut into pieces 200g pumpkin flesh and boil for about 10-15 minutes. Drain and blend until a puree. In a bowl mix 300g of flour, one packet of yeast and a pinch of salt. Besides, beat 2 eggs with 150 grams of brown sugar and 180ml of milk. Add this mixture to the flour, stirring to avoid lumps, and when the mixture is creamy add the pumpkin and 50g of melted butter. Mix well and pour into the muffin mold with holes already buttered, fill up to half (with this dose I filled a mold with 12 holes plus the two oven dish you see in the picture). Distributed for each "hole" 30g of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of cinnamon and stir with a spoon, so I avoided that all the drops end up piled in one place! Place in preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes, then check with a skewer: if it is dry they are ready! Let the muffins cool su una griglia...

They look good and the taste is not bad ... I'm just a little flat! And they have a specific gravity exaggerated! They are heavy lol! The next time I make muffins I'll try to solve these problems.
