Pumpkin Poppers

Happy Fall Y'all! 

When I think of the fall, PUMPKIN is defiantly at the top of the list! 

So, today I wanted share one of my favorite pumpkin recipes... 

{Pumpkin Poppers}

Popper:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 

2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon light salt


1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 


1/2 teaspoons nutmeg 


1/2 teaspoon allspice 

1/3 cup vegetable oil 


1/2 cup brown sugar 


1 egg 


1 teaspoon vanilla extract 


3/4 pumpkin (fresh or canned, just not pumpkin pie filling) 


1/2 cup low-fat milk

For Coating: 

1/2 stick of unsalted butter, melted 


1/2 cup granulated sugar 


2 tablespoons cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 and spray your muffin pans. 

{You can use mini-muffin tins if you have them - just adjust your cooking time to 10-12 minutes}

Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and whisk till combined.

In another bowl, mix together the oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin and milk.

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and mix till it’s just combined.

Fill your muffin tins till almost full & Bake for 15 minutes.

Melt your butter and in a small bowl combine your sugar and cinnamon.

Let the poppers cool for a few minutes before rolling them around in the melted butter and then plunging them into their cinnamon sugar bath.

I just diped the top of the muffin into the butter & cinnamon sugar, but if you're making mini-muffins, I would do the whole thing so they look and taste like a pumpkin donut hole… delish!
