This recipe for steamed buns packed with pumpkin can be made in just 5 minutes in the microwave. Its appeal lies in its ease of preparation, requiring no oven. The pumpkin is microwaved in two separate portions: one for mixing into the batter and the other for garnish. Both portions are then mashed or diced. The batter is made by mixing eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, and pancake mix. The diced pumpkin is added to the mixture, and the buns are microwaved again in a heatproof container. This results in steamed buns with a rich flavor and chewy texture. They can also be frozen for later use.
