PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with your preferred neutral cooking oil and line with paper liners. Alternatively, you can use a muffin tin without liners and grease the tin thoroughly.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine pumpkin, apple sauce, banana, coconut sugar (if using), orange zest, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mash the banana with a fork and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cardamom powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. Be sure to avoid overmixing.
- Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups, filling each about halfway. The batter should not overflow the muffin cups. Use a spatula to smooth the tops of the muffins.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now, let's delve a bit deeper into the origins of this recipe.
Origins of the Citrus Pumpkin Crumble Cake
While the specific recipe for Rohes Material's Citrus Pumpkin Crumble Cake is not mentioned in historical cookbooks or contemporary sources, citrus fruits and spices like cardamom have been popular in cooking for centuries. From ancient China to the Middle East, citrus fruits have been used as both food and medicine, while cardamom has been treasured for its aromatic qualities and digestive benefits.
