- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cases or patty cups.
- Beat egg in medium-sized bowl then add milk, oil, pumpkin and vanilla. Stir thoroughly until mixture is smooth.
- In a separate large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, pecans, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

- Spoon batter into prepared muffin cases filling nearly to the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean at the centre of a muffin.

I used some of the leftover butternut squash puree from a lasagna I'd made, and I used whole milk because it's what I had -- they turned out delicious! Thanks for the recipe! - 02 May 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
