This marble pumpkin muffins are one of the many recipes you can make with pumpkin now that we are in autumn.
Pumpkin is highly nutritious, loaded with vitamins and antioxidants (1) and it is very versatile and easy to add to baking goods.
One of my favourite ways of welcome the autumn is by making sweets, like these marble pumpkin muffins, or creams, soups, stews… I really hope you enjoy these ones, I think chocolate and pumpkin is such a great combo so hopefully you love them as much as I do!
Let’s go!
