Halloween Treats: Pumpkin Mini Muffins

pumpkin mini muffins 2 Halloween Treats: Pumpkin Mini Muffins

I have a hard time resisting moist, spiced pumpkin muffins at this time of year Im drawn not only to their warmth and pumpkin-ness, but to the way they make my house smell as they bake there is no better potpourri. This week Ive been baking a lot of pumpkin muffins wrapping them in napkins and sending them out the door while theyre still warm, popping them in lunchboxes and freezing any leftovers. I love this mini version perfect for snacking, when I need a little something but dont want to commit to a full-sized muffin, and for those with wee fingers and appetites. And these are what Ill be making when it comes time to send something to my sons grade 2 Halloween party they would be divine topped with a swirl of cream cheese frosting.

Alternatively, bake these in regular-sized paper-lined muffin cups for 20-25 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.

Pumpkin Mini Muffins

1 14 oz. (398 ml) can pumpkin puree
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 large egg
3 cups flour (all-purpose, whole wheat or a combination)
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin, brown sugar, oil and egg; in another bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the pumpkin mixture and stir just until combined.

Spoon into mini muffin tins, filling them almost full; sprinkle with coarse sugar, if you like. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch.

Makes about 3 dozen mini muffins.

Carrot mini muffins 1024x682 8 Delicious Mini Muffin Recipes for Little Ones

The other day I was sitting with my friends toddlers and was reminded how how small treats are so much better for small hands. One mini muffin is plenty for a member of the under-two set! It got me thinking that I had better build up my repertoire of mini muffins for little ones since Ill be back in that phase soon enough. In about a year Ill be back to making tiny french toast sticks and bite sized mini muffins while doling out the regular sized for my daughter. Of course, the trick to these muffins is to keep them simple with a capital s. Lets face it, a lot of food ends up on the floor so it may as well have been something you spent 15 minutes making not 2 hours! Here are some of my favorite simple mini-muffins for mini hands!
