Pumpkin Muffins with Cashews
Pumpkin muffins with cashews are a cozy, slightly nutty twist on the classic pumpkin muffin!They’re typically made with a batter of pumpkin purée, flour, sugar, eggs, oil (or butter), and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. The cashews can be mixed into the batter for crunch, sprinkled on top before baking, or even ground into the mixture for a subtler nut flavor.The result is a moist, warmly spiced muffin with a delightful contrast from the creamy, buttery cashews.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with 4–6 paper liners.
