Pumpkin Mini Muffin Repeats!

This past weekend we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. I will not tell you the embarrassing amount that I purchased to roast. Let's just say we are covered in the pumpkin area for quite a while...maybe. While we were there, the torture from the amazing smell of pumpkin bread coming from the building at the farm was killing me. So, what do I do...bake pumpkin muffins, silly!


I made 2 batches of these mini pumpkin muffins in less than 24 hours due to the speed with which they were eaten!


Dairy free, gluten free, fat free and so good! Now I want more!


To make them a little extra special, I added a little cream cheese icing to some of them.


I had some happy campers here! Let's just say we were al properly fueled to carve pumpkins that night!


Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3 less fat cream cheese, chilled (Tofutti works really well as a dairy alternative)
1/4 cup light butter or stick margarine, softened (I use Light Smart Balance)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar


I have to say that pumpkin muffins are definitely a weakness for me. Every year when we go to the farm, the smell just drives me crazy (in a good way).

    I think it'd be the cream cheese frosting that is a weakness for me! I used to not be a big fan of cream cheese- and am SO happy I got over that!

    Those look soooo awesome . . . and I'm a sucker for cream cheese frosting! I made mini pumpkin muffins last fall, and ate WAY too many of them. Here's to more self control this year! =)

    I was thinking the muffins themselves looked good, and then you added the frosting. Swoon!
