I can assure this is just the first of many delicious Pumpkin Recipes to come! I love that it’s pumpkin season and I am constantly searching for new, delicious pumpkin recipes to try. I found this one for Breakfast Pumpkin Puffs at Real Mom Kitchen.
I gave them a try yesterday morning, and before I knew it, I had inhaled about 6 and still wanted more….they are to die for. I think I’ll make more this week:) Enjoy!!
Pumpkin Breakfast Puffs
by Real Mom Kitchen
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (recomment using at least 1 teaspoon)
1/2 cup pumpkin
Coating:
1 stick of butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 sup sugar
In a small mixing bowl, beat shortening, brown sugar and egg until smooth. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice; add to the sugar mixture alternately with pumpkin. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full (don’t use muffin liners). Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Meanwhile, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the warm puffs in butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen
***I used a mini muffin pan to make them more like donut holes, which made more than a dozen! I didn’t feel as bad eating soo many “small” ones! ha!
Does this mean you are back to sweets? Those look amazing.
MMMMMMMM. looks delicious! I’ve been eating pumpkin bread from Starbucks waaaaay too much this fall – I’ll have to give these a try!
