Five-Spice Peanut And Pumpkin Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons large flake oats
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened canned pumpkin
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup peanut butter

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Lightly grease a muffin pan. Combine oats, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and brown sugar in a small bowl, then set aside.
In a large bowl, stir flours with sugar, baking powder, five-spice powder and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin with oil, water, eggs and vanilla. Then whisk in peanut butter. Pour onto flour mixture and stir just until combined. Mixture will be quite thick.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan and sprinkle with topping. Bake for about 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
