This recipe is perfect for a crisp fall day, as it pairs so well with a warming cup of tea or coffee, cozy socks, leaf peeping, and a good book or conversation.
It offers a rich pumpkin flavor without cloying sweetness, with hints of warming cardamom and earthy ginger from both ground and crystallized forms running throughout. (If you’re not familiar with the delights of cardamom, check out my October newsletter.)
I’ve worked the recipe so that you can make it into muffins or in a loaf pan. (I devoured both versions—it’s that good.) And I found that adding ¼ teaspoon of my Cardoz Legacy Garam Masala adds even more subtle, complex, and earthy flavors to this beloved classic.
Folding in crystallized ginger adds texture while upping the zingy flavor dynamic. And I love the sunny sweetness of golden raisins. But feel free to play around with your add-ins with your preferences or whatever you have on hand!
