Pumpkin Muffins with a Frosty Top

Well I never.... Old mate jamie has come through with the goods again.... Pumpkin muffins!!!
"They taste a bit like carrot cake, but we have substituted the carrot with pumpkin"

400g Pumpkin, skin off roughly chopped
350g light brown sugar
4 large free range eggs
Sea salt
300g plain flour
2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
Handful of walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
175m extra virgin olive oil

For the topping
Zest of 1 clementine (what is that??)
Juice of half a lemon + the zest
140ml sour cream
2 heaped teaspoons icing sugar
1vanilla pod (for the yuppies amongst us, otherwise 1 tsp good old extract)

I love the method... Chop up the pumpkin in a food processor, chuck in the rest (but not the icing stuff) give it a whirl and put it into a muffin tray (makes 12) Whack it in a 180 degree oven for about twenty minutes and your done!! How easy is that!! A real mans recipe.

Mix together all the frosting ingredients and pour it over the top of the muffins when they're done.. Voilla!! Could be a prize for the first bloke to email me a picture of the finished product.. This is what they should look like
