Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the pumpkin purée, vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and ground almonds.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spice.
Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it's looking too dry.
Transfer the mixture between muffin cases in a muffin tin.
Scatter over pumpkin seeds to decorate, if desired.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
These muffins keep in the fridge for a few days. They can be reheated in the oven or an oven toaster if you like.
