Yogurt dry muffins with pumpkin, sage, nuts and blue cheese: Gorgonzola, Stilton, Roquefort or Azure

Blue mold cheeses are characterized by their original texture and peculiar aroma and flavor. Among the most outstanding cheeses in this category are Italian Gorgonzola, French Roquefort and English Stilton. Of Polish blue mold cheeses, we can use Azure for cupcakes.

The muffins can also be prepared with other mold cheese.  However, it is worth paying attention to choose a cheese that will be noticeable in the muffins. It should, in the finished baked product, stand out  with its characteristic flavor and aroma.

From the given proportions we will bake 12 muffins. We can use ready-made muffin liners or make our own. Here are instructions how to make muffin pans
