45 minutes
Pumpkin muffins with honey are a cozy treat infused with the aroma of autumn. This recipe comes from American cuisine, where pumpkin baking is especially popular. The creamy texture of the muffins is complemented by the natural sweetness of honey, while spices like nutmeg and cinnamon give them a warm, rich flavor. Lemon zest adds a light citrus freshness, and nuts provide a pleasant crunch. These muffins are perfect for breakfast or tea time, especially on cool days when you crave something warming. They pair wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee, and their natural ingredients make them not only delicious but also a healthy choice.
