Buns, sunny, soft, mushy, they have a very interesting structure, so buttery-fibrous. The buns are perfect for breakfast. The buns are sunny, warm and delicious. Also, the smell and taste of pumpkin is gone, but I reinsured and added orange zest, you can not add. In general, pumpkin puree works amazingly, it gives this buttery texture to the dough. You could take carrot puree, I think apple puree would be very good too. Next time I'll try replacing all the butter with mashed , it will be less caloric and more healthy. These muffins are not fluffy, they are soft, good with butter, jam. And just plain are good too.
