• Once you have assembled all the ingredients, it is a fairly easy recipe to make. First whisk together the dry ingredients: self-raising flour, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. In case you don’t have self-raising flour, you can use 1 tsp. Baking powder and ¼ tsp. Salt for every cup of all-purpose flour you are using.
• Now add 2 eggs, ⅓ cup oil and 1 cup pumpkin puree to the dry ingredients. Whisk well till the dry ingredients are combined with the wet ones and there are no lumps. Don’t overmix or your muffins will become dense.
• If you are adding any fillings like dark chocolate chips, nuts or candied fruit, add here and fold. Now grease your muffin mould or silicon cupcake mould.

Air fryer Instructions

• Preheat air fryer at 350F or 175C for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, grease silicon molds or muffin molds that can fit into an air fryer. Fill the molds to ¾th and top with granola.
• Place the silicon molds in air fryer basket. I could fit 9 at one go. Air fry at 350F or 175C till they are cooked. It took me 11 minutes of air frying at 350F or 175C.
• Cool and demold the muffins and serve pumpkin muffins with tea or as a tasty dessert. You will love these pumpkin muffins.

Oven Instructions

• Preheat oven at 350F or 175C. Grease a muffin mould and fill ¾th of each mold with the muffin batter. Top with some muesli or granola. We leave some room on top so that the muffin can rise up.
• Place in the oven and let it cook till the muffins rise and are done. Use a toothpick to check the muffin for doneness. It should come out clean. It takes about 20 minutes for the muffins to be done.
• Take them out. Cool and serve. Your delicious pumpkin muffins are ready to serve.
