I love the pumpkin season. Pumpkins are just so delicious and versatile. They are great for soups, roasts, pies, pastas…not to mention Halloween carvings (although I’m not good at those).

Now you probably wonder about the pumpkin/miso combination. I tell you what, miso is a very underrated ingredient, which can add an amazing additional flavour to your cooking, like curries, purees or in this case – muffins, which taste absolutely amazing.

This was a trial of the combination and I absolutely loved, so I’m keen to experiment with adding other things like seaweed or kale.

Give these a go and let me know what you think. What experimental flavor combination have you tried?
