Mini Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

September 22, 2013 2 Comments

It’s the first day of Fall, and I am now officially in my “happy place”. I decided to start it off by making a pumpkin recipe with my sweet 4 year old daughter. She loves to help her mommy, such a lucky one I am.

I came across this yummy looking recipe from Inside BruCrew Life and had to give it a try. I’m a crazy lover of pumpkin… I even dedicated an entire Pinterest Board to All Things Pumpkin. Can you say YUM-O? These little muffins hit the mark – super pumpkiny (is that a word?) and dense, plus a bit sweet with the cinnamon sugar glaze on top. I have about a half can of pumpkin left…. what shall I make next? I can’t wait to do some more baking. Enjoy!

Mini Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients:
For the Muffins:
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

5 teaspoons milk

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, beat the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla, and pumpkin until creamy. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
Spray a mini muffin pan with non stick spray. Fill the cavities almost full. Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes. Let cool 2-3 minutes in the pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon. Dip the tops of the muffins in the glaze and let set. Makes 24 mini muffins.

Fall is Almost Here!

September 17, 2013 Leave a Comment

I am so excited that Fall is just around the corner. That means that the leaves will be changing colors, I’ll be making my favorite pumpkin recipes, and cooler weather is on its way. I love everything about Fall — baking and the smell of cinnamon filling the house, beautiful Fall colors, pumpkin anything, and the upcoming holidays. Plus, lots and lots of parties!

I thought I would share some inexpensive items to help you shop for some of your Fall events. I have lots of goodies, including Halloween baker’s twine, candy/nut cups, paper straws, goodie bags, and candy tubes. You can find all of these items in my Etsy Shop. Lots of different colors and more designs to see there too.
