This goat’s cheese pumpkin muffins recipe is a great way to use up leftover roast pumpkin and make great lunchbox fillers.

Goat's cheese pumpkin muffins

I’m not exactly sure what is going on in our house but the food seems to be disappearing a lot faster than usual. It could be that we have food fairies with long fingers OR it could be that my children have finally found their appetites and have started eating like they’ve never been fed before. I’ve always been very lucky that they are adventurous eaters but the quantities have always been relatively small. No more!

Aidan eats constantly. Like all day, every day. He is in the kitchen every half an hour asking for something else. Fruit, yoghurt, sausages, cold meat, sandwiches, cereal. “I’m still hungry!” is something I hear too often these days. And all of this on top of the litres of water and watered down juice he drinks.

They didn’t last incredibly long though, he had two in an hour!! At least I know they’re good though, right?

You could use pumpkin or butternut squash and you could swop out the goat’s cheese with feta cheese or plain cream cheese. And for even more flavour, you could add a few chopped up sage leaves. The flavour works incredibly well with the sweetness of the pumpkin and the salty, chalkiness of the goat’s cheese. Keep these pumpkin muffins in an airtight container and they will last for up to a week.
