Pumpkin Poppers

Without Glaze

With Glaze

The original recipe called for a glaze using a stick! of butter. UGH. I was only able to get 40 mini muffins out of the batter, and an entire stick of butter for a recipe with no pure sugar, and no butter seemed a bit ridiculous. So I made my own and they are still absolutely delicious! The best little treat for a cool fall day while sipping a hot tea and reading a good book wrapped up in your favorite blanket. I might actually miss these days once I move to the desert.(By the way, I still get to enjoy my baked treats and my warm tea) Enjoy!

Using small muffin pan, grease and fill each half full with batter.

Mix glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Remember the more milk the thinner it is. Taste to make sure it's how you would like it.
