Muffins - Pumpkin without soaking 

Made with my own roasted pumpkin. Includes a bit of sourdough starter for moisture. Add poppy seeds, or chocolate.

*If your starter is a standard 100% hydration starter, be sure to adjust for the extra liquid.

*AND my pumpkin was very dry this year so I added just a bit of extra milk to keep the batter loose but still a cohesive thick batter.

*You can always use sweet potatoes or squash in place of pumpkin. I think it gives you more flavor than pumpkin.

*Don't use convection because it will blow the batter and make your muffins crooked!
