These remind us of the bakeries in Toronto where Jemima was born. Just the smell of the little golden muffins cooking makes us want to cancel our plans and get tucked into bed with cups of tea, a good TV series and a couple of these, warm from the oven and slathered with salty maple butter. You could replace the pumpkin with sweet potato or use an alternative flour – we like white spelt flour as it gives a nutty depth.
